At Nova Bar, 6-9pm. RSVP here: http://www.meetup.com/106miles/events/16549247/
This might be one of the last times we have it at Nova Bar. We're too big for that place. Need to find a new SF venue.
Wow, 106 Miles is just shy of 1800 members now! http://meetup.com/106miles
Marcus and I both agreed that 25 Lusk is a great location, even if it's a little on the douchey side.
OMG OMG I think I found a place in SF that is less douche-y and more dive-tastic!!
It's http://www.thehotelutahsaloon.com/
I was there last night, they have a stage which would be perfect if we end up wanting to do guest speaker style things, too! AND they has a kitchens...so I think it sounds like heaven.
Also, the bartenders are cool. Because everyone likes cool bartenders :D
The bartenders were on board, I just have to convince the manager now...
Yup, it was one of those things I thought was important when looking for a new place in SF! This has essentially become my mental checklist of requirements, please tell me if I need to include anything else: close to Caltrain, non-douche vibe, has a kitchen, is big enough to accommodate 100 or so people.
Big enough to accommodate 200 people would be good, too. And doesn't charge us to bring the 106 Miles posse into their saloon. :)
Thank you Jessie! Leemore Federman and possibly Nick Sullivan will also be there at 5pm so be sure to say hello to them, and I will get there as soon as I can!
I'm working from home at the Mish today so we'll see how my fight against inertia goes...
As for a new venue - why don't you organize a 106Miles Soma Bar Crawl - that will help you goldilock the situation. >:)
