Los Angeles (SoCal) Bitcoiners Meetup?

[BitPappa]

Can't come if you guys are doing a bar crawl as I'm only 17

Wednesday's meetup is at a restaurant (http://www.warszawarestaurant.com), so you should be fine.

Do you want to call and confirm?

[BitPappa]

I guess it wouldn't hurt. Or contact Meetup group member "Ege Bamyasi" who spoke to someone at Warszawa. He posted this response to Josh Jones on 6/29:
Just heard back from warszawa - they are a-ok with us there for the 10th

[Leon D]

I'll try to be there.  Looking forward to meeting everyone.

[maco]

Can't make this one.

I'll organize the next event.

Have fun those who attend.

I just posted this in the LA/OC thread too -- wonder if we should start a new cohesive thread, since the two groups have quite a lot of overlap.

Satoshi Square Los Angeles #2 will be in Downtown Los Angeles on Thursday, July 25, 2013, check links for more info:

Bitcoin dominated.

Although very many who arrived knew little about Bitcoin, these are the sweet spot.  There were many new Bitcoin users created.

I sold out of all the Silver New Liberty Dollars I brought.  Many of the purchases were in Bitcoin, in fact the majority were.

Thursday, October 10, 2013, 7pm

At this panel event, we'll be introducing Bitcoin to the broader Silicon Beach startup community and discussing the many opportunities that exist in the Bitcoin ecosystem for entrepreneurs and makers. Let's make Los Angeles the Bitcoin capital of the world!

Food and drinks are graciously provided by our sponsor BitPay.

THE PANEL
Special panel guests include:

• Tony Gallippi (CEO and founder of BitPay - the largest Bitcoin merchant processor)

• Vinny Lingham (CEO and cofounder of Gyft - a mobile gift card company which just raised $5MM in Series A and gives Bitcoiners a way to spend their coins at major retailers)
