21st Amendment's selection of beer[6] includes their own delightful
brews, and a fair selection of guest brews. They have a full food
menu[7] and I can personally recommend the sweet potato straws and the
grilled Monterey Bay squid. Festivities will start at 6:00pm and
continue until we've all left.

They're about a fifteen minute walk down 2nd St. from the Montgomery
BART station.

sig-beer-west FAQ

1. Q: Your announcement says "techies and their friends". How do I
know if I'm a techie, or a friend of one?
A: Well, actually, you don't have to be a techie to attend. You
just have to be able to find the sig-beer-west sign at this month's
event. That's it. Simple, huh?

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.

Note for May 2004: 21st Amendment is a fifteen minute walk from
Montgomery BART. You may want to consider BARTing[9] and not worrying
at all about parking.

______________________________________________________________________

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 dc-sage[10] 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.
