If there's more people coming to our meetings on a regular basis, it's
easier to get speakers, since coming to speak to us is worth more to them.

However, the monthly price for meetup.com is roughly the same as getting our
event posted in the north bay bohemian a couple of weeks every month... 
Which would be more effective?
