Los Angeles, that hub of creativity, that fountainhead of joyous revelry in all that is bitcoinish ought claim its place on the list, yes?
Or if not LA, than maybe at least the People's republic of Santa Monica can pinch hit..

If you aren't able to get much interest in that event (especially with it occurring five days after this one: http://www.meetup.com/Los-Angeles-Bitcoin/events/123784402/ ) then you might just consider this event that same evening:

Spelunk.in invites you to attend Los Angeles’s first open air market! Satoshi Square LA will be Wednesday, June 12, from 6:30p-8:00p. We’ll be meeting up at the newly launched Grand Park downtown, at the fountain. This event is based on the Satoshi Square events in New York, and we’ll be using a version of Josh Rossi’s software to run the trades. The first 20 people to arrive will receive Gogocoin cards, filled with $5 worth of bitcoin each.
Grand Park is located in Downtown Los Angeles. It’s very close to City Hall and the Walt Disney Center. You can get there easily on the subway at the Civic Center stop. Parking for Grand Park is available in Lot 10 on N Broadway between First Street and Temple Street. Click here for a google map.
If you’re new to bitcoin, we can show you how they work. Can’t wait to meet other bitcoin enthusiasts and trade on June 12!

Are there any new meetups happening in the LA area soon? I'd like to get together and grab lunch and discuss bitcoins with some like-minded people.
There are meetups in San Diego May 28th and June 3rd.
- http://www.meetup.com/Bitcoin-in-San-Diego/
There are no scheduled events for LA:
- http://www.meetup.com/Los-Angeles-Bitcoin/
You could simply give a date, time and location and see who shows up.
There are enough people in the area involved in (or wanting to become involved in) Bitcoin for these meetups to become worthwhile. Amazing to see it gain traction in the Bay Area so quickly and yet be relatively unseen here in L.A.

Hey everyone. I'd love to meet up with local LA Bitcoiners. Looks like I just missed two events recently, but I'm hoping that maybe we can get another one going soon. Who's interested?

Sorry, I missed this one. I'll be there for the next one.
February 22, 2013, 11:53:41 PM
Wouldn't have been able to make it even if I left at 12:30, looks like traffic was horrendous in/out of Burbank today. Maybe we could meet close to the OC next time - like the Grove or something so some OC people could come (I'm sure there are some more people down south who might come up).
February 22, 2013, 08:34:55 PM
Hi guys, yes it was great meeting with you
Just arrived home 5 minutes ago traffic is just as bad as I remember
But, for Bitcoin meetups it is well worth the drive
Hope to do this again in the future with more
people. DrG join the club we must do what we must to make it through the day
hope to meet you in future meet ups.

Ryan and EndTheFed (I won't use your first name unless you're OK with it), it was great meeting both of you. Let's build on this momentum and get a larger group together next time around. DrG, sorry you couldn't make it but I understand. We're all tied up in our own "dog & pony shows" ourselves. Hope to see you at the next one.
Hope to see you at the next one. February 22, 2013, 05:25:43 PM
Argh, sorry can't make it guys. Gotta set up a deposition for a patient I was covering for another physician. Oh the joys of medicine.
It's not even a medical issue, she wants to sue her employer for time off. Stupid bitch got paid by Blue Cross on 2011 and never even paid me. I swear once I have enough coins I'm out of this dog & pony show.
Anywho, have fun guys.

Burbank is a way out for me, especially on a Friday with I-5 being a bitch, but I'll head out if we can get 5 peeps (including myself) to confirm.

OK, let's stick with Burbank for tomorrow's meetup and we can plan DTLA for the next one. I think El Torito is the better place to meet and I will arrive there between 1-1:30 PM. All those who plan on going please confirm.
February 21, 2013, 07:36:41 AM
I'm seeing lunch in some replies, and some people posting 12AM. I'm assuming this would be in the evening and later into the night since most of have to work (not me woohoo).
Any place where LAPD won't fire 100 rounds into your truck or there's no possibility of some crazed 20 year old attempting to carjack you is fine by me.

They usually meet up at Union Station then they head to Philipes and then to Dennys till about 12:00am or longer
February 21, 2013, 03:20:20 AM
I'm in, but isn't that place a zoo at lunch? I can get there by 1:15.
We can always do El Toritio at 4012 W Riverside Dr nearby instead. There usually isn't much of a wait there for lunch.
For those suggesting DTLA, I'm still open to it if others are willing to go there. Where specifically does LA2600 usually meet?
February 20, 2013, 05:37:29 PM
apple valley lol
Apple Valley? I thought the unwritten rule was that only one bitcoin miner per city, ha......So do you think this town is big enough for the two of cowboy?Happy to meet up with a local highdesert miner, bets the traffic and smog
February 20, 2013, 05:14:35 PM
There's alot of spots in downtown that we could meet up at. LA2600 Meets up in Dtown......
February 20, 2013, 06:30:12 AM
Wife is leaving town that day so I might be able to actually go. I would prefer a location closer to downtown or even towards OC since there would be some peps that could come up from SD and the OC area.
February 20, 2013, 03:36:35 AM
I'm game for anything as long as it's in the daytime because transportation in the night is a bitch in LA so what time should we meet?

Well, it looks like Burbank is winning out so far. How about we meet at the classic Bob's Big Boy at 4211 W Riverside Dr? As for what to talk about -- Bitcoin of course! I'd love to hear what people have been discovering about this new tech and what potentially new developments might come of it (For example, I've been following the BitcoinX "colored coins" project with interest and think it has massive potential to disrupt the equities/securities market), and also hear any experiences anyone has had running a BTC related business. I'd like meetings like this to become more commonplace as it's vital for finding connections and just plain making shit happen.

February 18, 2013, 09:09:21 PM
If this meeting happens I'm sure someone would be willing to do an exchange with you (I would).
February 17, 2013, 05:20:09 AM
Hey i'd be interested in this! Also I was wondering would anyone be willing to get me started with some bit coins. Don't want to deal with MT. Gox rather just buy locally.
February 15, 2013, 08:55:49 PM
Count me in for the 22nd of Feb post the time and place.
February 15, 2013, 07:56:53 PM
I vote for Burbank. The date and time are very good for me.
February 15, 2013, 07:23:39 PM
OK, in an effort to push this forward, I propose we meet for lunch next Friday (Feb 22) and choose between two possible locations: 1) The Grove at Fairfax & 3rd St. There are many choices to eat in that complex. 2) At or near Warner Bros. in Burbank. If the crowd is small enough, I can probably get walk-on passes for meeting on the lot, otherwise, we can meet at a restaurant nearby.
Let me know what you all think.

It seems most do not like the idea of downtown (myself included). How about something nearby, like Central L.A./ Wilshire District or even eastward, like Pasadena? I prefer weekdays but would be willing to do a weekend to accomodate others.

As much as I despise LA (mainly the traffic!) I could travel in for a meetup

I'm game for a meetup! I live in the valley and work in Burbank, so DTLA can work for me.

Would today, tomorrow or some other weekend be good? As for a place I do not like Downtown but will make an exception for this Bitcoin meetup. Any locations you have in mind ?

I'm in North East LA. Perhaps a downtown location would be good.
Any other la people around??

should the set up be for only the two of us?
I was hoping to see a large number of peeps
meeting up for bitcoin discussion in person.
As I am finding out this thing is just getting
started.
But sure we can meetup and get it started.
I am in the LA Orange County Boarder just
15 minutes North of Disney Land
what would be your location maybe
we can meetup have way from your location
and my location.

I am looking for active meetup groups in or around the LA Area.
