Ask HN: How do I find nearby hackathons?
No interest in sparking this debate again, but as background, I am teaching myself to code. I've been at it a couple months and would like to meet people more experienced than I and see what a hackathon is like. The trouble is, I'm struggling to find good resources on where any are. I'm in the Bay Area, so I know they're around, I just don't have a go-to site that keeps a good listing. Does such a thing exist?
Any help on finding some good Bay Area hackathons would be most appreciated.

Here are couple options. 1) Check schedule at HackerDojo, they have hackathons every weekend afternoons. 2) Search for meetups in your area.

Programmable Web creates these lists every so often. Their most recent one was from late April: http://blog.programmableweb.com/2012/04/26/49-upcoming-hacka...
Thanks - I saw that. Was hoping there was something more recent. I'll keep an eye on them.
