California Watch, the Northern California-based non-profit investigative newsroom I've mentioned here several times, makes staffers available from time to time for drop-in conversations about stories they should do. Monday is one of those occasions. What it means is that "in coffeehouses from San Francisco to Visalia to Irvine" — but mostly in the Bay Area and Sacramento — someone will be there to talk to you. In Los Angeles it means that Ashley Alvarado, the site's public engagement manager, will be at Xokolatl Cafe, 4987 Huntington Drive North, from 9 a.m. to noon.
Noted: Here are the other locations. There are two in all of Southern California, and five in Oakland-Berkeley alone.
