Agreed. It seems like there could be a meetup in the South Bay, SF, and East Bay.

I think there is enough interest in a SF meetup.  I propose West bluff picnic area, Long Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94129 by Crissy Fields on May 31st say 10 am.  There are picnic tables and grills there so we can BBQ.  I can get there a little early to get a table with a grill.

We can do pot luck.  Once we confirm who's attending we can organize who can bring what.

Way to be proactive, mxt0133! Unfortunately I have to be at a graduation from morning to early afternoon that day. Will not like missing it. If a good amount of people can't make it, how does the following Saturday 6/7 look?

Check the latest MMM post re: 5/23 at Heron's Head Park in SF.

Unfortunately, this is a little far for me in Santa Cruz, particularly since I don't have any other plans in the City that weekend.

agreed! I'm still considering it but by the time I trek up there after work I think it might be almost over anyway... South Bay folks are you game for another meetup in the next couple months? I just realized how long it's been since the last one! And anybody who makes it up to SF this Friday can fill the rest of us in on how it went. :)

Someone started a Google + for local Mustachians

Attended the meet up last night and was pleasantly surprised to see so many people pursuing Financial Freedom through Badassity. 

Was impressed by Evan who retired from corporate life at 28.  Intrigued by Ben and his goal of retiring in 5 years.  Welcomed by KJ and Michael in a very warm way.

Alamedagal and I had a great time and are interested in future meet-ups in the Bay Area, especially the East Bay.

At the meeting on Friday, someone collected (perhaps) 50-75 email addresses into a list. I have a server that can be used to host a Bay Area Mustachian listserv if the holder of the email addresses is interested.

(I realize that there is a google group, but I don't believe that the contact list could be added there; people would have to start over again.)

Yes, I think we should do another South Bay meet-up as well. (The SF one was a bit out of the way and we already had plans to camp elsewhere that night).

Any one have suggestions for a date? After, or during the long-weekend perhaps?

A South Bay meet up or even one in midway in the penninsula might be a good location compromise.  How do others feel about Millbrae, San Mateo or Redwood City?  Any other ideas?

Hello fellow Bayesians!  (I may not be from around here)

After the meetup in Heron's Head Park last month, we decided it would be worthwhile to organize additional meetups under the Bay Area Mighty Mustachian Meetup (BAMMM) banner.



To facilitate this, we assembled a contact spreadsheet, a Google Group email list, and a Google+ Community. All should be publicly joinable!

We're having a little meetup in Dolores Park on Saturday afternoon, described in more detail in the Group and Community.  All are welcome—if you know anyone else who might be interested, forward this along!

That little crowd?  That was way before things got rolling—MMM had just arrived!

People were coming and going, but I collected 85 email addressed and I'd estimate the total turnout at around 100:

I hope to see more of you at the next one somewhere else in the Bay Area.  If you have ideas about what to do or where to meet, send them out on the email list!

Hey, yall remember when MMM came to SF, and we all met up at a park?
I met this one guy there, and we started going on bike rides together once a week, and then he introduced me to his roommate, and then she and I started dating, and now its getting kinda all serious and stuff, and so, like, thanks MMM community, for being a part of making that happen!

So the last meetup was in SF - before I was a Mustachian. I'd like to see one in the South Bay. Anyone interested? (Not sure if I should start a new thread, or if this one is appropriate).

This thread should be a good place to start I think. The last time some of us got together down this way the idea started here and then moved to its own thread once it got to the logistics/rough headcount stages. Lots of people (including me) have mentioned interest in a South Bay meetup, but so far nobody has suggested a date/location yet. Maybe you will be the brave non-introvert to take charge! Been considering stepping in and suggesting something myself but I haven't had time and I'm going to be on vacation for much of September so I was waiting at least until I get back.

Heh, I was on vacation for much of August. And INTJ here, though I might get desperate enough to lead if no one else will.

I'll go to a south bay meetup (or a general bay area meetup). I live in Mountain View so meeting here or in Palo Alto would be nice.

What do we want to do? If people like going on walks we could meet near the Stanford Dish or the Bay Trail.

I'm always down for walking. I'm over in SJ near the airport, but can definitely make it over to PA if need be.

the 2 times I took the real test (once in high school and once as a team building thing at a job) I came up ENFP, which does mostly fit but I'm still pretty introverted for an "extrovert"!

That's a good suggestion! Forgot I'd seen the banners for that last weekend... probably since I'll be gone then, bummer! Usually a good opportunity to get outside, people watch, and check out some random stuff you probably won't buy. :)

How many people make the Art & Wine Festival? We can pick a date further out if that makes things easier.

Also, are any south bay people looking for roommates? I want to get out of my one bedroom when the lease is up.

Yeah, I can't make the festival. Also hoping for something a bit closer to SJ, but if there'll be a number of people I would be willing to go further.

Also, I'm potentially looking for a roommate, but my lease isn't up until February. I'm currently in a small studio, but I'm considering renting a room or something to go cheaper - not sure what that would be (I'm leaning more ERE these days as far as rent). Currently working near the SJ airport.

I'm in for a SJ meet-up.  Guadalupe River park near the San Jose Vietnam Veterans Memorial on Santa Clara has picnic tables.  It's also near the Diridion station.

Sounds great! I'd love to cook something and bring it to a MMM meetup for everyone to share. :-)

I can bike to that. When? October 18th seems sufficiently far in the future for people to plan around.*


* Also I'll be out of town for the first two weeks of October so we can't do it then :P

I can definitely come to the SJ meetup. I can also probably get a Mustachian friend from another forum (doesn't post here) to come, and perhaps a different friend as well. Flexible with dates - let me know!

It sounds like we have 5-6 people. When we finalize the details we'll probably get more.

Place: Guadalupe River park in SJ
Time: ???

I suggested the eighteenth kind of arbitrarily (it's the first weekend I'll be back after traveling). We can do it later if NoraLenderbee prefers. Does early afternoon (maybe 1 PM) sound good?
