The informal group of super geeks of the day would meet, and share ideas at various bars and pubs in Silicon Valley.(2) There are even stories of how informal late night swap meets took place in the parking lot of local grocery stores.
The secrets of the Homebrew Computer Club were exposed in the films Pirates of Silicon Valley (1999) and the PBS documentary series Triumph of the Nerds (1996).
