Here's a reminder that this Saturday, 21 February, is when some of us will meet at 1:00 PM at Nikko's Coffee Shop in Oakland.
Here's a url for a Yahoo Map:

Afterwards, some will probably head down the road to Mike Quinn Electronics Surplus, where I just put in half a day getting the capacitors in a better semblance of order.
Here's a map to Quinn's:

I'll try to snag the biggest booth, and I'll bring something to help identify, like a multimeter or a copy of Electronic Projects for Musicians.
Lucky guys!
Yeah, I'm really jealous of the guys who live in the same area and can meet like that, or go to the same shows, etc. Take advantage of that, guys. It's a way to realize the concept of community that we have here. Good stuff.

Sorry Erik, I can't make it due to work. I have to be in Petaluma. The weather isn't looking good for bicycling either (my car is toast at the moment). I would like to try again in the future at some point. Maybe after DaveTV settles in from his honeymoon and I can free a weekend up.
I hope you have a great time. :D
Take care,

I'd like to be there, just to hang out in Oakland with you guys, but it's a long way from Oklahoma. 8)
I don't suppose you guys will be doing another get-together between Mar 8-14? I'll actually be in SF that week... would be cool to meet some west coast DIYers...

Great, I lived in the Bay Area for 14-15 years, wasn't interested in guitar pedals DIY then :roll:
yeah, Aron... so there's nobody near you ...
but look on the bright side... you're in HAWAII!

I lived down the road from JDR microdevices, Frys, Quement electronics - San Jose - Stokes Street.
I can't remember if JameCo was around too....
Anyway, boy do I miss Willow Glenn Wood Fired Pizza and even Togo's pastrami sandwiches.
How bout Pizza my Heart in Santa Cruz/Capitola?????
Just wanted to bump this one up to the top, and I hope I see plenty of folks at Nikko's.
I got back from work at about 2PM, but it would be a couple more hours to get over to the East Bay via GGT & BART. I'm sorry I missed it. I hope it all worked out. I would like to try this another day.
Take care,
-Peter
