Yes. PostgreSQL.US and/or SPI can pay for venue and/or food for one or
two meetings. More, if you make a case for it.
Note that you also have some major PostgreSQL contributors in
California, so bringing someone in to speak is also possible.

Can you send me some contact information for LAPUG to take to LISA in
San Diego? I'm flying in this evening, but I could probably print
something there.
You should also plan swag (I recommend club cards or business cards) for
SCALE.
