I agree, although I've been missing too many meeting lately, myself.
SAO events have always catered to the business mind, sort of "How I used
technology to help my business" or "How I helped our technology business
using X", while I'd interpret EUGLUG meetings as "Howto foo the bar
[technology] into submission, and if you're extra geeky you can do baz
with it" Although if we can turn more PHB's into gnurds I'm all for it!
:) My worthless deprecated partial pennies,
Ben
PS - for clarity, I see PHB as a state of mind, not a terminal
affliction, although I believe many would argue with this view... and in
case you haven't heard of "gnurds" before, that is the name I offer

Same.
Maybe not too specialized/technical, not too long (30 +/- X min).
Topics like the ones selected at earlier TechBrews always found some
positive resonance in the audience. Presentations may also attract
visitors who wouldn't be otherwise interested in socializing at a brew
pub, or feel they don't have the time for such, or feel awkward in a
setting w/o an agenda.

I'd second that emotion. Presentations would be nice. If I can learn
and network at the same time that is good from my perspective.

My personal preference would be to have a presentation. Gives
the event more focus, lets me learn something new (usually).
I don't know what would happen if you gave highly technical
presentations. I think the majority of people who've been at the last
few events are technically oriented enough to enjoy it. Not Mike the
Phone Guy, and not Amy, but just about everyone else...
