I love the format of taking the best PyCon videos and sharing them with the group. As you pointed out, it doesn't really work for the BayPIGgies fourth-Thursday slots - so, not a typical BayPIGgies thing.</div><div><br></div><div>But, not to fret -- I am going to PyCon this year and I'd be happy to do the same thing again. It was always fun for me to have a big "Saturday movie fest" with Pizza and chilling out watching the best talks and chatting.</div><div><br></div><blockquote class="ecxgmail_quote" style="border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div>If we get +1s, I volunteer to find venue (free, wifi, allows us bringing food/pizza in, near Caltrain).</div><div>(I previously found an awesome corporate venue in Sunnnyvale for this back in <span style="font-size:12pt;">2013 but the</span></div><div><span style="font-size:12pt;">event didn't happen, </span><span style="font-size:12pt;">and that particular venue is no longer available.

I know the Silicon Vally Python MeetUp group would happily sponsor the event.
