Just a reminder that this Wednesday in Santa Monica is a Bitcoin Meetup.

Last month's meetup in Downtown LA had a great turnout and was a lot of fun. I was one of the biggest newbies there, as most people I talked to have been involved in Bitcoin for a couple of years. The group has a lot of developers, miners (or former miners), and people who've owned Bitcoin since it was well under $1 USD. If you're into Bitcoin on any level, come on by, I think you'll enjoy yourself.
