Hi all,

Here are some meetups and events you might be interested in.  It is not comprehensive--just what is currently on my radar.

4) Repair Cafe at Peace and Justice Academy 2033 Washington Pasadena 91104.  I believe this Repair Cafe will be done off the grid using Scoops' solar panel setup for power.  There will probably be a potluck afterwards.

Also, NullSpace Labs is pretty active on Meetup at the moment, with weekly classes and other events. They are charging $20 for each class, but I believe it is free for members...so it might be worth it to become a member of this hackerspace.  Membership is $40/month the last I heard.  They are located around the Cal State Los Angeles area, which makes them a lot closer to the San Gabriel Valley than their previous location.
