We had a grand meeting of the minds at BJ's Brewery at the Brea Mall in Orange County, California, and great "Sift talk" was enjoyed by all.

In attendance were @dag (this was his first group Sift Up), @Sylvester_Ink, @Issykitty, and yours truly. (We unfortunately had a few cancellations during the week and a few last minute no-shows. )

As with all past SiftUps that I've been fortunate enough to attend, it was phenomenal to meet with fellow Internet nerds in person and get a chance to know the Sifter behind the avatar. One new policy we decided on is that as of yesterday, any member who attends a SiftUp will be awarded 1 Star Point. This is not much but a little token of appreciation from SiftBot for your participation. We hope you'll be able to make it to future SiftUps!

Here's a photo of our foursome (I'll let you figure out who's who):


Many thanks to @dag who flew in from Australia, as well as @Issykitty and @Sylvester_Ink for making the pilgrimage!
