WHERE: 11066 Santa Monica Blvd, Los Angeles, CA

How to Find Us: Go into this Del Taco. We will be in the back room if possible.

Parking is free in the lot out front or on the street nearby.

Discussion: We often repeat the mantra "Keep your identity small," and for good reason. What is that reason? Well, maybe you should show up to this meetup and find out. Or read the recommended reading. You know, either way. Preferably both

Recommended Reading:

  • Keep Your Identity Small by Paul Graham
  • Cached Selves
