The first meetup (in Millbrae) was in a restaurant and did not work as well as the ones in people's houses. At the houses, people were much more free to leave one conversation and join another because there were multiple rooms and more space to walk around.
I can offer my apartment in San Rafael close to the Richmond-San Rafael bridge. My building has a big community room with a dozen chairs and a sofa in case the meeting gets too big for my apartment.
It is probably not as convenient as 2224 Shattuck is to public transit however -- even after one gets into San Rafael.
2224 Shattuck is near what BART Station or what cross street?

It's a block away from the Downtown Berkeley BART.
So it has come to my attention that there are a lot of LWers in and around Berkeley, so I thought it might be nice if we all got together and shot the breeze for a couple hours. I think it would be good to meet at the Starbucks at 2224 Shattuck Avenue at 7 o'clock on September 5th.
ETA: We will be meeting tonight at 7, disregard all comments suggesting a date change.
