Hiring .NET programmers. Any leads?

[introNetworks]

Anyone have any leads on where to find .NET savvy programmers in the Southern
California area? (Santa Barbara) I've tried Craigslist, DICE and Monster, so
far with little result. Any leads on groups or sites where I could find a
couple of good people to hire would be much appreciated.

I've had success in lean times by going to the user's group meetings and
making a case for the attendees to refer their friends (for a reward, of
course). These folks are some of the most active developers, but usually
not the most senior. On the other hand, they nearly always KNOW the senior
developers. Get them to refer.

This sounds like a good idea. Where do I find the local user group meetings?
