Thanks for the Yelp links.  I looked up those provided here and also 
searched for the joints named in other posts.

Other things being equal, I'd prefer "Noise Level: Average" to "Noise 
Level: Loud".  That would make Steingarten, Rush Street Culver City and 
the Daily Pint preferable to Father's Office.  But I concede that those 
Yelp reviews can be misleading.

I will pencil in Thursday 6:00-7:00 as a start time for an event in 
either Santa Monica, Culver City or West LA.  If there's anyone in la.pm 
who is the PiCoESM (Person in Charge of Emergency Social Meetings) who 
wants to contact me off list to figure out arrangements, that would be 
good.  I'll be flying into LAX tomorrow but be up the coast until, 
probably Thursday morning.  I look forward to meeting you all!

Thank you very much.
