Subject: Events, clubs, &c

Do any PD subscribers live in/near the Monterey Peninsula, Santa Cruz or even 
the South Bay? If so, I would welcome information about any pipe-related clubs 
or events (e.g., dinners) in the area. 

I live on the Monterey Peninsula and find it hard to connect with pipe
smokers, although I know there must be some around. Monterey has a
pretty decent pipe & tobacco shop, but the staff don't appear to have
any leads. They also seem to cater to a more established, senior
clientele (I'm in my early 30s) and I'm not sure that I'm considered
to be as serious as I am. Cigar smokers appear to be pretty numerous
around here, but pipe smokers seem relatively less common.

I'd be willing to drive up to San Jos; SF is harder to manage, but in 
desperation, I suppose I could make the trek. I'd appreciate any input that PD 
readers might have!
