Definitely interested and happily will become a patron of local SD shops that start accepting BTC. Sign me up!

Meetup details and more:

We're growing fast now and expect to see many more merchants come online in the next year.

I live in LA and am in San Diego at least twice a month for business, for days at a time. Sign me up. I will gladly frequent an establishment that accepts bitcoin.

I grew up in San Diego but now up in L.A . I like your idea there .... Maybe I should start up the L.A one. We should have a place/website where there is a template on how to approach managers to accept bitcoin. Sort of a "best practices" . Also, have it where we can do a checklist of whom everyone contacted.

Yeah, I've said this a fair bit. Cut and paste template.

While email is good, i think its best pitching to the places you go to. I pitched to one in Brisbane. As soon as i told him you get %100 of the bill (unlike visa or master card) he was on board.

Just waiting on my coin kite now!

It took a while, but this is worthy of performing a necrothread revival:

Inspired by Phinnaeus Gage Chicago thread and adamstgBit Montreal thread, I want to form a list of San Diego bitcoin users who would like to go to restaurants accepting bitcoins as much as possible. Once we have this list, I will start emailing and calling restaurant managers. I am also thinking if I have your email and or signature it will be more convincing...sort of like a petition. If a restaurant manager sees this list then it will be a no brainer to use bitcoin if the list is long enough. Add your name to this thread if you live in San Diego and also your restaurant choice. My choice is Stacked in Fashion Valley Mall since you can already order food via an iPad.

The thread title is a bit misleading. It looked like the announcement of a place that did accept bitcoins now.

Changed. Nine people so far. I am thinking maybe if we can get 20 people it would be great.

I'll be in SD for the big economics conference in January. If there is somewhere downtown that accepts bitcoin, I would try to go.

Wow, quite a few restaurants are accepting btc now

Where?

There's three in the U.S. (One in Florida and two in NYC) plus GrubGo delivery in St. Louis. Other than that, where? [Update: There are more and more though ... The Pao Cafe in New Hampshire, Whiskey Dicks in Tampa, FL, Cups and Cakes bakery in San Francisco, and Berlin has a cluster of them. Baby steps.]

RIP Mommy

Know about? IDK, you reminded me it exists. Interested in using? Looks like not a lot. Funny to see the person in Coronado selling at 6.68 and buying at 6.29.

Closest seller to my zip is 7.4 miles (downtown). My nearest Chase is about a mile away so I'm planning to deposit a small amount to Bitfloor there, for my first time.

Any people in San Diego know about Local Bitcoins? Would be good to get some more people on there.
