I'd like to meet the most people in one trip so if that means Saturday at Groundwork at 5pm that will be fine with me.

I remember parking at Amoeba Records to go to a movie at Arclight. Is parking  still free there?

I don't know Sepulveda well enough to suggest a place.

[Torokun]

Whatever you guys decide, I will try to make it.

Just PM me with the result.

Dumb question:  Where's Groundwork?  Is that where we'll be, Saturday at 5?

I'm excited about finally trying out the Mesh!

Groundwork is on the corner of Sunset and Cahuenga in Hollywood.  Parking is free at Amoeba, but I think they prefer you shop there.  I also heard something about them charging $3 flat, but I'm not positive.  You can also pay for parking at the Arclight, but that may be more.  I'm not sure since I take the bus everywhere.

As for Sepulveda, we could always just find a good intersection and then check Starbucks.com for locations nearby, assuming we all have our free T-Mo accounts fired up.

I'll PM Torokun and let him know about Saturday.

[Fricka]

Maybe this location Pete?

But only if that works for Saturday, I'm definitely out for Sunday now.

I can't do Saturday at 3   I can *maybe* make it up there by 6 or 7 on Saturday assuming the buses are with me.  I finish up my writer's meeting around 4 or 5.  It looks like I can make it there by 5:30pm on just one bus (!) So, if we can make it 5:30 (or I can just be late), I should be cool with that Starbucks if everyone else is.

It's at: 15355 Sherman Way #A, Sherman Oaks 91406

Are we all cool with that location and the fact that they have a T-Mo hotspot?

I'm thinking I should start another thread for this meetup.

[quixote]

6pm Saturday at the Sherman Oaks Starbucks? 

That works for me.

Do we have liftoff?

(I better look up my T-Mob data.  I haven't even bothered with that yet!)

[Fricka]

Sounds good to me.

Quixote I just went to a Starbucks today and realized I hadn't done all the steps to make an account!

It was fun anyway, had some interest in the XO even though I was sitting in a small corner. One guy -- as he was talking on his cell phone -- walked into the corner and behind me so he could see over my shoulder!

[quixote]

So we're definitely on for tomorrow, Saturday, at 6pm, at the Starbucks at 15355 Sherman Way?

I'll be there.

Update a few hours later:  I just signed up for T-mob, was checking out their Starbucks locations, and ...

no Starbucks with that address.  Are we talking about the one listed as being "at the corner of Sepulveda and Ventura Blvd" ?   I think I could find that ... 

[thepete]

Quixote, check the link Fricka provided--that's the right address and the SB site says there is wifi there, so I think the T-Mo site has it wrong.

So, it is just going to be the three of us?  I haven't heard back from Torokun.

[ChaplainOzaki]

I plan on being there. 6pm saturday, sherman oaks starbucks, is cool with me. My friend ayse will probably come, she's got an xo as well.

[Fricka]

That's great ChaplainOzaki!

Yep, it's on, 6pm:

Sherman Way & Sepulveda, Van Nuys
15355 Sherman Way #A
Van Nuys, California 914064200
818-787-0135

   Wireless Hotspot Available
   Oven-Warmed Food

[quixote]

Thanks for the update!  I'll be there, XO in tow.
