Only in Silicon Valley

So, heading down the street one evening on the way to a pub where current and former workers from SGI tech support gather on a semi-regular basis to chat about whats happened, who is where now (many of them aren't with SGI any more) and other such comradery. Anyways... I'm walking down a street to the pub (it is within staggering distance) and a large group of people are walking in my direction with a general appearance that is more scruffy than I am (I have a mid-back ponytail and a full beard). Just as they pass, I hear them comment on my T-shirt. I was wearing a UserFriendly Evil Geniuses in a Nutshell T-shirt that I got that the O'Reilly OpenSouce Conference. The Evil Geniuses part is what intrigues them. So we chat for a bit, and I get a business card:

Yep, they are hiring.

Any gathering of more than three programmers in Silicon Valley can be considered a job-fair.
