Really nice bunch of down to earth guys.

The custom ergodox boards ROCK!!! - hope to be able to buy one (if they are ever mfr'd for the masses).

My only regret was... no Karlie Kloss - Lol

I look forward to next time.

I wish Karlie was there,  too. Nice meeting you,  man.

Nothing special,  yo. Technical fabrics today. Outlier pants,  Ministry of Supply button up, and Coach hi tops. Chill and comfy.

[nubbinator]

It was fun.  Sent is a cool dude and Badwrench is always fun to hang out with.  Sorry I had to bail after barely saying hi Paul and I'm sad I didn't get to meet kurplop since he seems like a cool guy, but it was fun and definitely some good beer.

[byker]

so what would you say the ratio of meet to chill was?

Yeah, too bad you had to bail.  Next time.

Much chill.  Needed more meet.

[hrinfinity]

It was great meeting everyone yesterday!

super chillll. Can't wait for the next one

[kurplop]

Definitely worth the long drive to get a chance to meet some other great guys and fellow keyboarders.

I like about a 70% beans to meat ratio in my chili. Look out tomorrow!

No pics of Sent?!?

And only one side pic of nubs?  What a tease.

At least we've got a few of the other guys. 

And the food.  :O

Still wish I could have made it out for this one.  Next time!

Dinner with Sent and Nubbinator was great - the pics do little justice to how good it was, especially those sliders.  Riip was decent, but was heavily focused on IPA (not a bad thing), but to me, only a couple were really good.  I did like the coffee stout even though it had a very thin mouth feel.  One chance liking was the oatmeal stout.  I didn't expect it to be as good as it was. 

I really had a great time getting to know everyone.  There is definitely a reason that Geekhack has the feel that it does of being such a close community and the guys I met on Sat. only reinforced that.  Thank you for making the time to come hang out in person and have a beer and good conversation.  Also, a thank you to heroinbob for the 3d printed lucky cat, it now has a place on my desk. 

Oh, and Hoff, save the trip out for a little more structured of a day, this one was just a couple guys hanging out for a few hours.  Hopefully we can set up another California meet (and this time I can attend).  A 2 day meet in Sunny San Diego sounds like a good time to me.

Yeah, we'll set up a more structured meet for 2016.  In the meantime, though, anytime someone wants to grab a beer, hit me up.

Totally agree.  I have connections for an awesome mobile taco stand if we wanted to do a small bit of catering    I have had their stuff multiple times (my friends use them for nearly every larger party), and most recently at a friends wedding.  Fresh guacamole, salsa, and either pollo/carne/al pastor on fresh pressed tortillas (they do them one at a time right in front of you).  Simply awesome!

Annnnnnddd, now I am hungry.

Un-stickying this thread since the meetup was a couple weekends ago.

Sent, if you want to do another meetup using the same thread, just ask me to re-sticky.  If you prefer to start a new thread, also ask me to sticky that one.  So basically whenever you're ready for another one, just ask me to sticky it, mmkay?  :3

[CPTBadAss]

**** structured meetups. I want to hang out, play with lucky cats, and eat carne asada fries .
