i-Club gets a plug in today's SF Chron

in the food section, no less...

http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cg...DGA58M7KU1.DTL

towards the last few paragraphs of the article...

"Eggettes are best eaten on the spot so they retain their crispness, but if you must get them to go, Kwok has fabricated a special bag with six holes on either side to prevent them from getting soggy.

They've become a favorite among members of www.i-club.com, an online hangout for Subaru owners. A year ago, these Asian-American men in their 20s and 30s began meeting at Eggettes.com on Wednesday nights to "eat, hang out, talk about cars, girls, school, everything," says San Francisco State University student Sydney Chow. They check out one another's cars, swap tips on how to improve performance and sometimes perform minor repairs."

squidney is Sydney's SN, he was the one quoted in the paper

Good to know that I fall into i-Club's stereotypical demographic Relax, the writer just probably didn't realize that i-Club is bigger than just the Eggettes meet. Because at Eggettes, rau is the token black guy and Costco Mike is the token white guy. Now if only we could get a token female or two...

I keed, I keed!
