This comment is intended as a parent post for talking about possible locations. For reference:

  • We have met at Westwood Brewing Company a few block south of UCLA.

  • We have met at Platt Campus Center on campus at Harvey Mudd.

  • We have met at an IHOP about a mile from UC Irvine.

  • I think the center of mass of people who are likely to attend (excluding people from San Diego) is somewhere around Anaheim.

Suggests and comments from people who know the los angeles metropolitan region better than I do (or whose attendance is conditional on the location being closer than X to them, for a small value of X) are appreciated!

If there's no better basis for choosing than the most convenience for the most people, my vote is for the IHOP near UCI, which is super-convenient for me. If it's there, I could come; if not, I'd very likely have to miss it.

I'll make a weak vote for the IHOP near UCI. It's easy to get to, has free parking, and seemed to work reasonably well for the last meetup.

Would you be able to attend at other locations if a ride were available?

Possibly, but probably not. I have a young baby at home, so I can't be away for very long. The issue for me isn't transportation availability, but transportation time. I live about a mile from the IHOP.
