Hi Brantley,
ok, we'd love to have you.   Four groups
to choose from in Los Angeles are lula.org (3rd Tuesday), sgvlug.org (2nd Thursday),
lilax.org? (2nd Saturday), and uuasc-la (1st Thursday).   All of them
are shoestring operations, and attendence depends crucially on good
publicity, so we'd want to line this up 60 days in advance if
possible.   I help schedule for Lula; do you want to commit
there for February, say?
- Dan
