On that note, I'm in LA (hollywood area) and if anyone ever want's to grab a beer or coffee I always love to meet other hackers and entrepeneurs who are passionate about tech and startups

So I feel like I'm already pretty easy to identify as a hacker when I'm out on my laptop due to the stickers that I currently have on it (not a github sticker, but others that are equally as nerdy).

There are a few hacker spaces in LA, I need to venture there sometime to meet up, it's just kind of more difficult than what I am thinking of because you have to drive there, find parking, etc. I'm basically thinking about networking with people in my neighborhood. For instance there is an awesome coffee shop around the corner that I always hang out and hack at because it's walking distance from my place. I also know there are a lot of hackers in my neighborhood, it's just hard to find them. It would be cool if I could set a status as "come hack with me" set my location on a map, and put it up for others to see so they can come hang out. Likewise others could do the same. So if I'm at home messing around, and I see there is a hacker close by who wants to hang out and hack on things somewhere close by, I can roll over to meet him. It would be a good way to network with other hackers in my area and work on cool things together.

yes exactly :)

I have tried the meetups before, but I'd like something for more spur of the moment hacking.
