I live just far enough away not to be able to go to Berkeley (without a car). Are there any other LWers in the Santa Cruz area or Monterey?
I live in monterey.
Are you planning to drive up? The route google maps gives from monterey to mountain view passes quite close to where I live. I would gladly provide gas money, and I can reference (at least) two LWers who know that I'm not a crazy person.
Probably not just because its so far away
I'm in Santa Cruz and I'm vaguely thinking about going. I'm not sure yet.
Edit: I have a car so I could drive.
Would you be interested to meet in Santa Cruz?
Aside from being social and all that, it would be neat to be not-strangers if you were interested in carpooling to car-distance meetups.
I'm a grad student at UC Santa Cruz. I'm in Baskin Engineering most of the time.
Are you a student? If you're on campus we could meet, otherwise there's lots of time to talk on the way to Berkeley.
The thing I miss the most about Berkeley is the food. I like the fast food in Berkeley a lot better than in Santa Cruz. I really want to get food at I.B.'s Hoagies (on south side of campus, on Durant) if possible. Thai Basil is another favorite.
I.B.'s Hoagies (south side of campus on Durant) is probably my favorite thing about going back to Berkeley. We're going to get some hoagies around 6:30 pm or so before meeting at Starbucks.
The asian food court area would be a good place to hang out (really I just love Thai Basil), though it might be a little cold since it is out in the open.
Do any of you drink boba? I wonder if any boba places are open late.
Seems like boba are the wonderful squishy bubbles in bubble tea. I usually chew them. Occasionally I swallow them.
For the record, you can do that trip on public transit, it's just really tedious (#17 from downtown SC to I forget the VTA bus number in SJ to BART in Fremont). And you wouldn't want to need to take it back that night.
Wait, I just realized that I parsed that as you looking for a carpool, whereas you may have actually been suggesting another meetup down there. Well, either way, there's some information; the worst it can be is useless. :)
Looked it up on google maps and it said the trip via public transit was over three hours. If the meetup starts at 7 that means I'd either have to leave quickly or get home very late.
Google maps also claims that the car ride is only an hour and a half, which is much more doable, but of course if there are people in my area it's always more convenient for me to travel less (:
