BALE, dude.
If you want to find at least two of the locals, you can turn to [link|http://www.linuxmafia.com/bale/|BALE] and pick a few events. I'm typically at SVLUG and BALUG meetings, also a few other events around the area, though by no means all of 'em. There's rarely a day without some sort of meeting or event, and many with several.
Up and coming: [link|http://www.balug.org/|BALUG] (San Francisco) on Tuesday, CABAL meeting at Rick's house Saturday. [link|http://www.svlug.org/|SVLUG's] next meeting (at the Cisco campus in San Jose) is Wednesday, January 2, 2002.
