[EndTheFed321]

If this is not posted in the correct place please feel free to delete.

I am looking for active meetup groups in or around the LA Area.

[ryanAC]

I'd be interested in an LA meetup. 
Should we set something up???

[EndTheFed321]

should the set up be for only the two of us?

I was hoping to see a large number of peeps

meeting up for bitcoin discussion in person.

As I am finding out this thing is just getting

started.

But sure we can meetup and get it started.

I am in the LA Orange County Boarder just

15 minutes North of Disney Land

what would be your location maybe

we can meetup have way from your location

and my location.

[ryanAC]

I'm in North East LA.  Perhaps a downtown location would be good.

Any other la people around??

[EndTheFed321]

Would today, tomorrow or some other weekend be good? As for a place I do not like Downtown but will make an exception for this Bitcoin meetup. Any locations you have in mind ?

I'm game for a meetup!  I live in the valley and work in Burbank, so DTLA can work for me.

[Coinabul]

As much as I despise LA (mainly the traffic!) I could travel in for a meetup

[Explodicle]

I live in downtown LA, and would be interested too.

[Mashuri]

It seems most do not like the idea of downtown (myself included).  How about something nearby, like Central L.A./ Wilshire District or even eastward, like Pasadena?  I prefer weekdays but would be willing to do a weekend to accomodate others.

apple valley lol

[EndTheFed321]

apple valley that would be a long drive I don`t know.

well, It looks like most of us would be willing to travel to LA for a Bitcoin Meetup.

The all important day and time

 Weekends would be ideal for me as the only
 
weekday would be a Friday that I am not scheduled to work.

2/2/13 or 2/3/13

2/8/13, 2/9/13 or 2/10/13

2/16/13 or 2/17/13

2/22/13, 2/23/13 or 2/24/13

If February does not work how about March?

3/2/13 or 3/3/13

3/8/13, 3/9/13 or 3/10/13

3/16/13 or 3/17/13

3/22/13, 3/23/13 or 3/24/13

3/30/13 or 3/31/13

As for time we could start it at Noon?

Let`s see if we can get a firm day and time before we decide on a location  

[Mashuri]

This weekend is out for me but I think I can get any later one to work.  I definitely would prefer any of the available Fridays though. 

[ryanAC]

Wherever and whenever, I will do my best to show up!
I've never actually seen another Bitcoiner (?) in the wild...

[Mashuri]

OK, in an effort to push this forward, I propose we meet for lunch next Friday (Feb 22) and choose between two possible locations: 1) The Grove at Fairfax & 3rd St.  There are many choices to eat in that complex. 2) At or near Warner Bros. in Burbank.  If the crowd is small enough, I can probably get walk-on passes for meeting on the lot, otherwise, we can meet at a restaurant nearby.

Let me know what you all think.

[ryanAC]

I vote for Burbank.  The date and time are very good for me.

[EndTheFed321]

Count me in for the 22nd of Feb post the time and place.

 

[Huesos]

Hey i'd be interested in this! Also I was wondering would anyone be willing to get me started with some bit coins. Don't want to deal with MT. Gox rather just buy locally.

[ryanAC]

If this meeting happens I'm sure someone would be willing to do an exchange with you (I would).

[Huesos]

Yea lets make this meeting happen does anybody have ideas for a startoff topic?

[Huesos]

Btw I'm located in the Central Los Angeles area I'd be willing to head to Dtown for a meetup train stations near by would be helpful
