I went to my first meetup in SF today.

I always wanted to go to one of these, and I'm glad I got the opportunity.

It was also my first time in a bar in SF, and this bar had a nice atmosphere inside.

The free food was awesome, I was addicted to the Truffle Honey Grilled Cheese.

A list of people I talked to and met.
