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 June 2004: Zeitgeist is [9]three blocks from 16th St
BART. You may want to consider [10]BARTing 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 [11]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.
