When I saw the meetup page last, I had to give my personal information to 
meetup.com and sign in before I could see the location.

I found that creepy, and so I have not yet learned the location of this 
event.  I also find it weird that this email to the Baypiggies list 
doesn't say where the event is despite the subject saying "Our Location".

Meetup sort of creeps me out since it turned away from its free-of-charge 
community roots that empowered the Dean Campaign in 2003. The fact that no 
one will tell me where this event is, unless I give personal information 
to Meetup, particularly makes me feel uneasy.
