   San  Francisco's  next  social  event for computer sysadmins and their
   friends, sig-beer-west, will take place on Saturday, February 15, 2002
   at  the  [1]Toronado  in  San  Francisco,  CA.  The  Toronado  has  an
   impressive  selection  of  [2]draught and [3]bottled beer. Festivities
   will  start  at 6:00pm and continue until we've all left. The Toronado
   has  an excellent selection of beer, but no food. It is perfectly okay
   to score food from neighboring establishments and bring it back to the
   Toronado to eat. Also, after we are all full with beer we may roam off
   to a nearby restaurant.

   Everyone  is  welcome  at  this event. We mean it! Please feel free to
   forward this information and to invite friends, co-workers, and others
   who  might  enjoy lifting a glass with interesting folks from all over
   the place. (O.K., you do have to be of legal drinking age to attend.)

   For directions to the Toronado, please use the [4]excellent directions
   at  their  website.  When you show up at the Toronado, you should look
   for  some  kind  of botched sig-beer-west sign. We will try to make it
   obvious who we are. :-)

sig-beer-west FAQ

   1.  Q: Your announcement says "computer sysadmins and their
          friends".  How do I know if I'm a friend of a computer
          sysadmin? I don't even know what one is.

       A: You're a friend of a computer sysadmin if you can find the
          sig-beer-west sign at this month's sig-beer-west event.

   2.  Q: I'm not really a beer person. In fact I'm interested in
          hanging out, but not in drinking. Would I be welcome?

       A: Absolutely! The point is to enjoy each others' company.
          Please do join us.

   3.  Q: Is parking difficult around the Toronado, like maybe I
          should factor this into my travel time?

       A: Yes.
   ______________________________________________________________________

   sig-beer-west  was  started in February 2001 when a couple Washington,
   D.C.  based  systems administrators who moved to the San Francisco Bay
   area  wanted  to  continue  a [7]dc-sage tradition, sig-beer, which is
   described in dc-sage web space as:

     SIG-beer, as in "Special Interest Group - Beer" ala ACM, or as
     in "send the BEER signal to that process".

   The original SIG-beer gathering takes place in Washington DC,
   usually on the first Saturday night of the month.
