I was part of NIRVANAnet(tm) back in the 90s. We had boards in San Jose,
San Francisco, Albany and Walnut Creek, and each hosted gettogethers in
our collective back yards. The Pub in Albany, Zeitgeist Sam Wo, Tradr
Sam's and La Rondalla in San Francisco, a couple of cheesy restaurants
and bars in San Walnut Creek...

Good times. Miss them.

Once, we had two people who hated each other online have a great time in
person, thanks to a change in perspective and several drinks.   :)
