I don't know if I should have emphasized this more in the original post, but 11/17 is next Tuesday, not today. :) I wanted to give everybody a week's notice to make plans.
Congrats on getting the meetup going. I run the hackers and founders meetup in silicon valley. I have a bunch of graphics like a logo, name tags and table tents already made up if you're interested. Its open source meetup hosting.
