I agree with you on this. I avoid the BALug meetings because the
restaurant they go at sort of sucks, and they've been seemingly dead for
so long (I could be wrong.. I just remember about a year period that the
website did not update) I'm not sure if they even exist.. Living in SF,
it's a bit of a pain to go to the south bay, but would be less if one
were to organize some sort of a SF-BayLisa carpool?
