And for North Bay people. I haven't been to a BayPiggies meeting in  
ages cause with $4.50 gas (even in a Prius), I can't justify a 90 mile  
drive (each way), to get down to Google. I really fail to see why  
there can't be a meet-up in SF on occasion, especially if it was near  
the Embarcadero so ppl could take the ferry in and utilize mass  
transit. SF is without a doubt the most centrally accessible location  
in the Bay Area, with the best public transit routes in and out.

San Bruno is still a bit far but definitely getting closer to where I  
can actually see myself going every so often.

Big +1 on a SF meeting.

Cheers,
Ben
