Ahh... this is the second month in a row I can't make it. Saturday night is a friend's birthday party! Next month, though, I'll be there, for reals!

Parking near downtown Berkeley isn't usually too hard to find, but you'll probably have to pay for metered parking unless you want to walk several blocks. The Starbucks in question is right next to campus, so free spaces are definitely at a premium.

ETA: Looks like the meters stop running at 6 PM. You're good unless you get there early, but expect to walk a block or two.

Oh darn. I just realized that the meetup is in the evening. I'm hosting a house party that night on the peninsula, so I'm sadly going to have to miss this. Will there be another one next month?

All right. I've never been to one of these before, but I'm in. I'm coming from Mountain View, so any tips about transportation? If I drive (seems likely), how's the parking situation?
