San Francisco's next social event for computer sysadmins and their
friends, sig-beer-west, will take place on Saturday, September 20,
2003 at [4]Jack's in the Cannery in San Francisco, CA. Jack's has 110
beers on tap, and food is available. From sandwiches to steak to New
England style clam chowder (which I personally recommend). Festivities
will start at 6:00pm and continue until we've all left. Directions to
Jack's can be found on the Cannery's [5]directions page. For
additional details, see the [6]sig-beer-west venue page for Jack's.

sig-beer-west FAQ

1. Q: Your announcement says "computer sysadmins and their
friends". How do I know if I'm a friend of a computer
sysadmin? I don't even know what one is.
A: You're a friend of a computer sysadmin if you can find the
sig-beer-west sign at this month's sig-beer-west event.

2. Q: I'm not really a beer person. In fact I'm interested in
hanging out, but not in drinking. Would I be welcome?
A: Absolutely! The point is to hang out with fun, interesting
folks. Please do join us.

3. Q: Is parking difficult in the city, like maybe I should factor
this into my travel time?
A: Yes.
______________________________________________________________________

sig-beer-west was started in February 2002 when a couple Washington,
D.C. based systems administrators who moved to the San Francisco Bay
area wanted to continue a [8]dc-sage tradition, sig-beer, which is
described in dc-sage web space as:

SIG-beer, as in "Special Interest Group - Beer" ala ACM, or as in
"send the BEER signal to that process".

The original SIG-beer gathering takes place in Washington DC,
usually on the first Saturday night of the month.
