May's informal Drupal meetup will be Tuesday, May 3, 6:30pm at Zootown Brew coffee on Broadway.
This will be a casual, open meetup. Got a Drupal problem you're stumped with? Looking for just the right module for your new site? Want to show off something cool? This is the right forum for that! I'd also like to hear from the group about what you'd like to see as far as meetups over the next few months. Even if you can't attend, feel free to comment here on what you'd like to hear about or present on and when you'd like to meet.
I won't be able to make it to this one, but I wanted to get this on the site so folks wouldn't hesitate to show up and discuss Drupal amongst yourselves.

Non-Drupal Sell/Trade
I recently purchased the Aircurve Play http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/aircurve-play for my iPhone, but I accidentally got one for iPhone4 and I'm so hip I have an old 3Gs. I can send the thing back and get a refund, but I'm really lazy. If someone is interested in buying it from me or possibly trading Drupal skills ($20 worth would probably be about 5 min. but hey, it's something!). Let me know! I'm willing to bargain, trade, whatever.
Oh, and I'll bring it with me to the meet up!
Some follow-up from our meeting last night
Ok... I've been working with the date, calendar, views and chaos tools this morning and wanted to report my findings (of course these are not scientific because the date module hates me). I uninstalled everything (date, calendar, chaos tools and views) and deleted the files through FTP. I then installed through the browser, all the dev versions of the modules (chaos tools 7.x-1.x-dev; views 7.x-3.x-dev; date 7.x-2.x-dev; calendar 7.x-2.x-dev). I also deleted and recreated the events content type which will be using the calendar. This combination seemed to keep everything pretty much as it has been. The upcoming showed every date in the repeat rule, the calendar showed nothing at all and I received a database error (which I don't have now... ). So, I uninstalled everything again and tried using only the stable versions (calendar 7.x-2.0-alpha1; date 7.x-2.0-alpha3; views 7.x-3.0-beta3; chaos tools 7.x-1.0-alpha4). This caused me to lose all the views I had created. It also seemed to not have an option to make an argument based on the date/time field I created for the events content type. It only had five options (updated date; comment date; posted date; user created date; and another one I forgot). So, I couldn't seem to get the argument right to have it display based upon the date node instead of the updated date. Also, when the field updated date was included in the list of fields to display, the events did show up on the calendar (on the day they were created) but when I deleted this field, the calendar displayed nothing. So, I uninstalled everything again and tried using the stable versions of views and chaos tools but the dev versions of date and calendar and it was pretty much the same as having them all stable. I'm going to try with a fresh install and see how that goes.
Uninstall modules?
Hi Trista, good on ya for your persistence here! I know it will pay off in the end, but these things can be really frustrating at times.
Just wondering if you remembered the step I mentioned last night about disabling, then uninstalling the modules in question before replacing with newer versions. The uninstall process give the module the chance to actually remove any database tables it's created, to clean up configuration variables it may otherwise leave behind, etc. I'm thinking particularly Date module here (uninstalling Views would probably remove all the Views from your database). You need to do this before you remove the module directories, because the uninstall code is in the modules themselves. Just wondering.
Starting from a fresh install will have the same effect, and show whether the stuff just doesn't work right at present, or whether there's something in your specific site which is conflicting. So - good next step.
(Last thing – I'd make a new post for this so people can find it more easily, many folks who may be interested in your troubleshooting will ignore a post with a title indicating a meetup in a distant town.)
