UPDATE:
We had the meeting tonight successfully. Had about 7 people show up at peak. Last person left around 9pm. Martin May of BrightKite fame was there, and we ended up talking a lot about LBS's, among other things, in between beers. A little about Facebook and the movie, and somewhat about how to make the world a better place. One member talked about how he'd love a better way to find people who loved arguing so he could argue with them. This of course lead to several other folks arguing both for and against the idea, which then devolved into the Arguments skit from Monty Python.
I want to try a 2nd meetup in the next week or two. We may start using Meetup.com to help facilitate , not sure yet. Regardless, I will send out emails to everyone I can beforehand, and I'll try to post a notice to HN again as well. I'm also pushing to hold the 2nd meeting on the weekend in Boulder, and in quieter venue, just so we can experiment and see if that works better or helps get a different mix of folks than we could have otherwise.
Great meeting, and thanks to everybody that showed up!
