I don't know what counts for "local", but if you're in the SF Bay Area,
you've got plenty of pickings. Starting where you're at, there's a Cal
Berkeley LUG. BAD meets at various locations (last was at Cafe Boronne,
a stone's throw from my apartment, after nobody had announced a location
up through the day prior and, ahem, someone took charge ;-). BALUG
meets in San Francisco, Chinatown, reachable via BART and either a bit
of a hike, or Muni. SVLUG meets in San Jose monthly. Rick Moen's BALE
page lists any number of events, typically more than one per day.

I've seen people trekking from Santa Cruz and Davis to various events,
regularly.
And despite your impression of BAD, I suspect you're not as poor a fit
with the group as you think you are.
Peace.
