was there a bitcoin booth?
There were a number of Bitcoin centric elements. Registration desk took bitcoin. Bitcoin and alternative currencies were pretty much everywhere you looked.
Possibly the best "Booth" (in my humble opinion) for Bitcoin was Timothy Frey's Roberts & Roberts Brokerage booth.
They had a full array of Bitcoin items from swag to awesome. Bitcoins not bombs, and all manner of goodies.
It was a good event, all things considered. Sold out all the New Liberty Dollars I'd brought in less than a day, and many of those were Bitcoin sales.
The Silver Circle folks where there.
Bitcoin was one of the hottest discussion items and many of the speakers discussed it in their presentations. The crowd was mixed, with very many of all ages and types, as well as many younger SoCal brilliant stars.
The MC of the event was none other than Jeffrey Tucker who is also hosting the Atlanta conference in 2 weeks. He is a Bitcoin fanatic and can't stop talking about it.
He wrote this piece inspired by some of the events which happened there:

Foster Gamble's THRIVE movement was very well represented. His discussion group was dynamic and moving.

This year's Libertopia was a historic one.

I'm gonna try. I wish I knew about this sooner because now I'm locked into a bunch of other crap. I'd much rather go to Libertopia.
I'll be there running the "Stump the Voluntaryist" booth in the Village.

Bitpappa, thanks again for coming out! I had a great time! I'm not sure if I'll be selling the new shirts online. I might keep them exclusive to meetups but I'm not sure yet. If you want one, hit me with a PM. I should have official pics soon.
I hope my guest wasn't too distracting...lol. I hope to make it out there again sometime in the future. I'd love to link up again.

Hey Joe, thanks for the report!
I went to the LA Satoshi Square and about 30 people turned up for the event. We had some challenges with the trading software, so we had to go to pen/paper and shouting, which I think is very much in the spirit of Buttonwood. Everyone was very nice, and of course we all started swapping Bitcoin stories. We had some impressive guests (which they declined to be mentioned) and I think I conducted the first trade of the evening (Buying 1BTC for $112). Interesting, the value of bitcoin was much higher then the market (defined by Mt. Gox) but I think a lot of people were buying it for the novelty of the exercise. Super thanks to pinguino and the organizers of Spelunk.in for setting it up.

Looks like it's gonna be Monday, July 15th in the Venice / L.A. area. I'm still considering venues.
The LA Meetup Group is currently aiming for around July 10 on the Westside (perhaps hard to find, because the discussion of the next meetup is all on a thread from our very successful gathering last Wednesday). It would be good to sync up the plans between BitCoinTalk and MeetUp.http://www.meetup.com/Los-Angeles-Bitcoin/events/120561162/

Do it, and those that can come, will.

Sure, love the beach. If you pick a weekday can we go for afternoon and at the beginning or end of the week? Getting in and out of LA is hell so if I plan to go it will be a big chunk of time since I will wait for traffic to calm down after rush time.
