Hi all,

We had a pretty successful meetup last week (5/8/2010). I was quite  
pleased to see a fair number of people showed (my last count was  
something like 10 or 11). Due to popular demand and other stuff like  
that, we’ll have another meetup this weekend and we’ll be targeting more  
of a hacking meetup. In other words, bring your laptop, work on some  
stuff, have your own discussions, beat each other with your knowledge  
and just hang out :).

I think at least this weekend, we’ll go to Crossroads again but we’ll  
move further down toward Uncle’s Games. Word on the street (or rather  
amongst those that attended last weekend) was that there are more plugs  
for us to plugin. For me, a netbook carrier, not such an issue but I  
know some of the other attendees are carrying around bigger machines.

TL;DR:

Meetup: 5/15/2010  
Location: Crossroads in Bellevue, near the Halfprice Books & Starbucks  
(NE 156th Ave & NE 10 St)  
Time: 3:30-ish (I’ll be there around then) till whenever (7ish?)  
General info: We’ll be working on our side projects, maybe side demos if  
you’ve got something cool to show people. For example, Josh showed us an  
interesting demo with GUI development + writing to files for GUI events.

Don’t hesitate to email me or the EH email (removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid).  
Website is [http://eastsidehackers.org](http://eastsidehackers.org) and twitter will have updates  
([http://twitter.com/eastsidehackers](http://twitter.com/eastsidehackers)).

PS: If anyone has suggestions for venues for future meetings, please  
email me. Crossroads isn’t perfect but will accommodate us seating-wise.  
The big issue is enough seats + wifi + plugs.
