Is it that obvious.

*cough*

Thursday 1/5
Tuesday 1/10
Wednesday 1/11

(giving us three different days of the week as options.  If I through
Thursday 1/12 into the mix, things will just get confusing.)

I always meant to attend one of those meetings when I worked in the
budding Linux movie industry.

> > Possible Locations....

> All your proposed locations are restaurants around Santa Monica. 
> Ticketmaster appealed because it's close for me in Hollywood.

Because LA is so big, we rotate locations.  It's easier to just
arbitrarily pick a location for a particular meeting, and find
restaurants in that area.  (Otherwise, the restaurant pool is just too
big.) 

Our next meeting is currently (tentatively) scheduled to be at
Ticketmaster.

This meeting is considered a social meeting with mild technical
content. (mild?  that's really not a great word.)  Christopher Nielsen
has volunteered to talk a little about how memcached and perl get
along.  Ask will chip in.  I'll bring the usual "general overview of
the perl world" stuff.  We may have a book or two to give away.

Next meeting will be more technical, and held in the beautiful
ticketmaster facility.
