Peninsula Meetup!
posted August 16, 2012 1:42 PM RSS | iCal | +googleCal
Sun September 30 at 7:00 PM, Antonio's Nut House
321 N California Ave, Palo Alto, CA, USA (Map & Directions)
One year later and she is back for more! Stewriffic will be back in town so let's meetup. Sunday, September 30, let's say 7pm onwards? She'll be staying in a hotel in Palo Alto (Barron Park area) but I am uncertain about her transportation situation so let's pick a place in PA. California Avenue area might be most convenient. Open to suggestions! [Edit: location will be Antonio's Nut House]
And yeah, my transportation is stuck to the bottom of each leg.

Argh! We will not be here, though we will be in an awesome place because we'll be driving around UT/CO/NM looking at rocks.

bummer! But I'll be in SFO for APHA later in the month. I think gingerbeer is presenting, too?

I believe so, yes. Or she's at least going, I know that. It's a plan!

Does APHA refer to the American Public Health Association convention? That's in October and I'll be there. Or are you referring to some other APHA?

That's the one! I'm presenting.

I'll be there too! I'm on a paper and a poster. Maybe we should have a meetup around the meeting.

Would love to come to this and meet other MeFites, I just moved to the area a few months ago and I've never been able to make it to the SF meetups.

The Nut House is pretty much a dive bar that serves Mexican food. You can get peanuts from a mechanical gorilla.

So, uh, I guess if there are any people with nut allergies, Antonio's Nut House is not for you.

I'm cool with dive bars and Mexican food. I'd be down with the mechanical gorilla for sure. No nut allergies for me.

Antonio's Nut House works for me. Unless there are any other suggestions, I'll edit this to make it a firm thing.

Nope. They're two separate, but equally important mefites.

AV used to live in Santa Cruz. Her Bay Area meetup heyday wasn't the same as ambrosia's, so the confusion was minimal.
I'll be at the Nut House. Most grateful that something is being planned locally, since I have been plowed under with work and school and have not made it to a meetup in about a million years.

As a bonus, the Nut House is very Caltrain friendly, take the California Avenue stop.

I am having cognitive dissonance that this is on a Sunday. I have a standing thing on sunday evenings, but if you guys are still there after like 9:30 I will try and stop by!

Holy crap I just randomly found this thread from a search for 'palo alto'. I live here and I've never been somewhere that other MeFites lives so I'm in (pending girlfriend's interest perhaps. Or I might venture it alone.)

I was just looking at the Antonio's Nut House page and am hoping they have a nice, local IPA.
YAY Space Coyote! Come by yourself if the GF won't/can't make it!

I may be able to make it. Unlike zsazsa, I've crayoned it in to my calendar.

Very excited!! I'm going to be exhausted, btw, because I have to get up at 4 a.m. EDT. That's 1 a.m. to y'all. I'll try to nap.

It was very fun meeting fellow MeFites last night! Space Coyote, definitely going to shoot you an email.
Also, the Gangnam flash mob in SF! I need to know about this.

How convenient, so much modern time, as I provide information about Gangnam flash mobs in SF on a need to know basis! The SF Flash Mob Facebook group has all the latest info on upcoming practices and the day of the mob itself, Saturday 10/13. More importantly, it was nice meeting everyone! I had a darn good time. (And it was nice to see you again, zsazsa!)
