Hi,
I understand there is a Pasadena Drupal meetup at the beginning of every month. I heard a few concerns about running out of space. I will venture out and see what I can do about my Caltech contacts. But in the meantime, I write to suggest my favorite cafe, which is a 1-minute walk away from the original Pasadena meetup location.
'Cafe Alibi' is a Korean American cafe situated just a couple minutes walking distance from the Cheesecake Factory in Old Town, Pasadena. The cross streets are Fair Oaks and Green- you will see a quaint little park at this location, with tons of metered street parking. (Free parking starts at 7 or 8, I believe). They are open till 9ish each night, but the owners are great, and I am certain there will be absolutely no problem extending hours if requested.
In addition, there's a pleasant outdoor patio which would easily fit twenty + people.
My favorite dish from them: Bulgogi Salad (bulgogi is a mildly sweet Korean beef),
They also serve delicious sandwiches, panini's, salads, etc. Haha, no I am not getting paid to say this, in fact, the cafe has absolutely no idea I am writing this (although I've asked a few days ago, and they told me they would be happy to host a meetup). Cafe Alibi is just a small mom-and-pop cafe trying to make it, and I rarely see many patrons inside.
This is where I've also enjoyed a Sweet Potato Latte!
When I was in New York, there was a monthly Drupal 'Play Day'- a meetup where sessions or presentations did not take place in a formal manner- rather, people would team up in small groups of two or three and learn that way. I'm open to something of this nature, also.
I would like to have this meetup this coming Monday... any thoughts?

What happens to July 4 meetup?
The next "First Monday of the month" is on July 4, when I suspect most folks will have family plans.
Will there be an alternate date for July, or should we just be patient and wait for August?
Yes! Thursday is looking
Yes! Thursday is looking like the only day that will work. Hopefully this works for you and everyone else interested. I will get a post up later this evening.

Scratch that. Make it Wednesday.
It was brought to my attention that the IE meetup is on Thursday and I do not want to conflict with that. I posted the event for Wednesday here.
