Feel free to step outside for a bit anytime, there's a cute nature themed area with sitting areas directly next to better buzz if you prefer to escape the "buzz" of the coffee shop.

They'll be the usual name badges as well as small "interest/topic" stickers you can add to your name badge, to try to make it easier to find your people. (Ex: hiking, pets, parent, new to town, scifi/fantasy, ect)

If you're unfamiliar with the area, this is right off the 215 freeway by a large shopping center so they'll be a lot of parking. It also has a unisex bathroom.

(Feel free to come even if we get over the 10 attendee limit! It's just a limitation of the free Meetup plan.)

Even though this "officially" ends at 8:30, the shop is open until 10pm so you're welcome to hang longer.

Another meetup group

If you haven't heard of Techmecula there's another meetup group that's been going strong for over a year in Temecula, I joined one of their meetups and it was a good time. It repeats every first Wednesday.
