We had a great turnout at the g33k dinner last night. At each dinner there are a few new faces, but more and more it's a group of people who have been to a couple geek dinners or barcamp. It's really starting to feel like a community. Lot of friendly familiar faces: Michael, Crystal, Lucas, Bino, Mark, Dan, Jennifer, Zach and Danah was even in town.
Crystal showed up with some geek dinner t-shirt designs. She shared the ideas and by the end of dinner we had agreed on one. It's so exciting to be getting geek dinner t-shirts. They look totally awesome too.
Jennifer pimped a contest one of her clients - Dare Junkies - is having. You pick a challenge (that is submitted by the users) and film yourself doing it. If you missed out on getting one of the t-shirts, I still have some. They are S, M and L.
I also got to talk with Tim from French Maid TV. I had met him at the Pulver event (I still need to write that one up). We quipped about the upcoming LA pillowfight and I suggested that some french maids might need to show up to clean up the place.
Food was good, but the margaritas needed to be stronger and we closed the place out. We're off to Santa Monica next month.
It was my first GD and loved it! Thanks for organizing. BTW, I'm willing to try to find sponsors for BarCamp.

I was too tired after hiking, so I flaked. :(

Cool!
Just saw your edit on the barcamp wiki and came to have a look around here.
Geekdinner tshirts sound great, we should have them in London too... maybe Crystal's design could be used as a general template? I'll ask her :)
And the pillowfight... must make it to the west coast soon.
Cheers
