I'm living on the Peninsula, anyone else living around here?

San Jose in the house.

Have you been able to find a decent price on an apartment/house? Pretty tough in this area in my experience. We found the cheapest place we could but it's still way too big a chunk of the paycheck

SF - has there been a meetup?

ponchoape · « **Reply #4 on:** November 30, 2012, 10:24:07 am »

North Oakland reporting in.

San Pablo (tiny city within Richmond)
Lived in Oakland until last year. I consider everything between Pinole and Oakland "home"

San Jose here.

waltermundt · « **Reply #7 on:** December 06, 2012, 05:05:02 pm »

Sunnyvale here.

kisserofsinners · « **Reply #8 on:** December 07, 2012, 05:13:14 pm »

San Francisco, Lower Haight.

I'd be really into hosting a meetup if there's interest. However, it seems like critical mass is in the south bay.

Unless you're looking for a room in a house with roommates, the market is not worth making long term commitments in. If i was looking for housing, I would wait it out in the smallest place i could stand until social media has a bad day.

Hey everybody! Kisserofsinners and I are meeting up next Sunday, the 13th, in SF and I wanted to open it up to anybody who wants to join! I know a lot of you guys are in South Bay/East Bay, but if you wanna make the trek out here, comment below or PM me, and I can send you the details! :) Hopefully we'll get a chance to meet!

SMART I was just about to do this. :) Well played.

How did the meetup go? We'll soon be in the Sonoma area. I just took a new job, moving from Central Indiana to Sonoma in February 2013...whew. Sticker shock is still hitting me on housing prices. Hopefully there will be another meetup at some point in the future when we are out there, and I can meet some of you!

dragoncar · « **Reply #16 on:** January 15, 2013, 08:32:51 pm »

Wanted to go, but had to work :-( Anyone want to try for a redo?

John74 · « **Reply #17 on:** January 16, 2013, 06:11:47 pm »

I am in SF too (SoMa).

nofool · « **Reply #18 on:** January 16, 2013, 07:11:28 pm »

It was great meeting kisserofsinners! :) We met at Philz Coffee and got to chat. I brought a friend along who is new to personal finance, and it was fun! We should definitely do another meet up. John, where in SoMa are you? I work on the edge of FiDi and SoMa.

That's right near my office.

I had a great time meeting and hanging out with nofool and her friend. It's relaxing to just feel comfortable geeking out about this stuff. I can assure you my friends are done listening and i'm not done talking yet. :) I'd love to do it again.

Send me a PM if you do.
I get email notifications of them, but not for forum updates, and I don't always check here regularly

I would have gone last time, but it happened to be my Coast Guard drill weekend

I'm down to hang out again! :)

Will do.

New to the community, but I live in Daly City and work in the financial district. It looks like I'll only be in the area for another few months (will likely be relocating to Las Vegas for work), but I'd love to join a meetup if there's another local one before I go!

kisserofsinners · « **Reply #25 on:** February 05, 2013, 10:28:39 am »

We can keep it monthlyish.

I liked meeting on Sunday as it was convenient for me, but i'm open to evenings also Mondays and Thursdays. The month of Feb is pretty dense with birthdays I've only got the 17th and 24th left available.

If it's nice we can picnic in Dolorous Park.

dragoncar · « **Reply #26 on:** February 05, 2013, 11:12:15 am »

A lot of people seem to work downtown. Weekday evening would be good for me

Downtown after work also works. I have time Mondays and Thursdays most weeks.

nofool · « **Reply #28 on:** February 14, 2013, 05:24:24 pm »

Pretty much every evening except Tuesdays work for me.

vivekg · « **Reply #29 on:** March 06, 2013, 02:39:44 pm »

is anyone in san jose / south bay willing to meet up?
i am brand new to this site and love it already. can't wait to apply mustachian princhiples...

mbk · « **Reply #30 on:** March 16, 2013, 01:10:58 am »

Moved to Berkeley recently. It would be nice to meet fellow Mustachians.

Live in Hayes Valley (SF) in a 400 square foot studio with my BF.

kisserofsinners · « **Reply #32 on:** March 21, 2013, 04:28:17 pm »

Planning for SF propper. PM if you'd like to be a part of choosing where and when.

StashtasticMomo · « **Reply #33 on:** March 21, 2013, 05:34:43 pm »

Another vote for downtown SF. Cheers!

Bakari · « **Reply #34 on:** March 21, 2013, 06:55:50 pm »

PM Sent.
Any day but Tuesdays, and the 2nd weekend each month, works for me, given enough advanced notice.

But if its in the city, hopefully as close as possible to BART (and preferably one of the first few stops)

kisserofsinners · « **Reply #35 on:** March 21, 2013, 07:13:47 pm »

Currently looking at near downtown, BART station most likely Montgomery or Embarcadero. This will likely be a bar stop as i don't think there's any parks or public areas to hang out, maybe House of Shields or Dave's Bar but i'll do a little legwork to find a happy hour if it's to be had.

Most likely, Monday or Thursday. I'm gonna give it a day or two before a final call is made.

Come out and play!
Peace

The Yerba Buena Gardens are near the Montgomery station in case you guys want a park.

The Yerba Buena Gardens works and one of the easier places to find people is infront of the Martin Lurther King Jr wall. As a backup if the weather does not hold we can easily move to meeting indoors to the Food Court seated area in the former Metreon (now Target & AMC Building) too.

Generally Mondays and/or Thursday work best as long with advanced notice. Thanks.
