Fri March 23 at 7:00 PM, Good Karma Vegan Cafe
37 S 1st St, San Jose, CA, USA (Map & Directions)
beekept lamented the South Bay's lack of meetups compared with San Francisco so I suggested we hold our own.
The venue is Good Karma Vegan Cafe at 37 South 1st Street, San Jose. They have a nice selection of unusual beers on draft.
Street parking is tough, but the cafe validates for the garages with the Pv symbol [PDF]. I'll be biking from Willow Glen. MeMail if you want to coordinate.
Original proposal so the first 12 replies make some sense: ...beekept is carfree and downtown, so it's close for her. Scheduling's tricky, but we're going to try for a Wednesday or Friday evening. Comment with your vote for March 21st, 23rd, 28th or 30th.

Wednesdays are out for me, and so is the 30th, but if it's the 23rd I might be able to make it.
(I first read the last sentence of the original post as "beekept is carefree," which I hope is also true.)

Either the 21st or 23rd would work for me! (The 30th, alas, does not, which is a shame because I love that beekept has the day off.)

I can't do Fridays, but I'd like to go if it's a Wednesday (any Wednesday, really).
I've tried to make it to a few of the SF ones, but haven't been able to. This sounds fun!

Hmm. I can't do either Wednesday, but I could probably do either Friday.
Like tangerine my brain auto-corrected to "beekept is carefree" which I thought was a lovely thing to say while proposing a meetup.

Wish this'd happened when I lived there. Maybe even with tax season upon me I can make it.

It's on! I'm 6'3" w/ brown&grey curly hair & I'll be wearing a red Maker Faire t-shirt. No MeFi shirt because the big sizes always sell out too fast. Grrr!

Can't make it tonight, guess it was just not meant to be. Perhaps another time, my south bay comrades!

Also, I would have properly formatted that link but I am still tipsy from the meetup.

Glad I decided to come, it was a treat to meet you guys--and even though zsazsa and I have already met he continues to be a pleasure!

That was fun! I'm glad I didn't go for a 3rd beer; my tolerance is heck-a low.
Great to meet all of you. I hope we'll do it again-- maybe Dish-Dash in May?
