Let&#8217;s see, he helped launch companies from Creative Labs to Riya and he&#8217;s not a geek? Yeah, right. Anyway, here&#8217;s a dirty little secret. Our dinners are always open to everyone. Even PR people! 🙂</p>
<p>While I was in Europe I learned that people around the world are jealous of Silicon Valley and Seattle cause we have so many geeks in those two places. Hey, I&#8217;m jealous of Europe. You have <a href="http://anina.typepad.com/">Anina the geek model</a>! And decent beer!</p>
<p>But, please feel free to tell us about your geek meetups here too!</p>
<p>Anyway, here&#8217;s the details (Maryam and Patrick are coming too, so the whole family is welcome). Meet at <a href="http://www.thecheesecakefactory.com/locations.htm">Palo Alto&#8217;s Cheesecake Factory</a> (on University Ave. in downtown Palo Alto) at 6 p.m. Bring cash so you can pay for your part. Feel free to show off your geek toys that you got for Christmas!</p>
