Any Workshops or Events in the Los Angeles, CA area?

I'm just wondering if there are any workshops or gatherings for Arduino enthusiasts in the Los Angeles, CA area anytime soon. I'm just starting to get into tinkering with Arduino and would love to meet up and collaborate with people in the area. Thanks.

I would love to know of a workshop or others working with Arduinos.

Cheers

lets make something happen in orange county. I really love the idea of temperature controlled kitchen appliances.

email me at toni.v.nguyen@gmail.com if you'd like to make a group or something like that.

Machine Project is having a set of classes coming up, but as I'm in central OC (Orange County), that's too much of a hike for me.

I would be interested in just about anything in OC though.
