Southern California WSO RE meetup 2018

Hey, guys, it looks like there was some interest in a WSO GLA area RE meetup- let's get it started. I was thinking maybe sometime closer to February. I have a few ideas for venues and will probably make a meetups.com type post to invite everyone.

Here are Strawpolls for location and date.

Location : http://www.strawpoll.me/14770814

Month: http://www.strawpoll.me/14770830

This will help get an idea of where we are at as a group

If someone wants to chime in on a preferred location please let me know

Thanks for spearheading. Selfishly, I'd like to do something in Westwood. I'd be coming from outside of LA, and quite frankly WeHo is just a huge pain to get to. Just my $0.02.

Awesome. I know there is a conference from the 21st-24th of January and several members said that those days would be best for them.

Hey sorry, I left you guys hanging I got really caught up with work and messaged AndyLouis with some questions. The Nickle Mine overwhelmingly won. Feb also won the straw poll by a bit. I am not sure if Jan 23rd (My only available date of those) would be too soon. If there is definite interest on that date and people would actually come I will make the event today and put it on the 23rd. If not I am most likely looking at Feb 8th.

Or we could just go for it and do both. @Hard Let me know what you think and I make a decision by EOD.
