I think parking is a non-issue. There is a chance you may have to search some more if there is a show, but for the most part, parking is very easy and free. Remember, parking is free downtown after 6PM on the street and there is free parking in the ramps right by there too. Read the signs and you should be fine. Last time I was there I parked right by the front door. Even if you have to foot it, it may be closer than you would get if I were hosting. :wink:

I will miss the homey atmosphere of meetings in the basements but I won't miss trying to get out of Franklin Hollow with a slight buzz on. I also will miss the pot luck food. Lets face it some of you guys can cook.

I always park at the Museum of Art parking lot up the street. It's a block away and parking is free. I've never seen it full except for later at night.

I also believe Bricks offered up their upstairs for meetings. Maybe Greg can check on the price there. I can also check with third base brewing again to see if we could host there quarterly on a Thursday night in the back room and bring in home brew. If we find 4 places, and host there 1 once every third month we would be golden.

Yeah they were cool with it for free as it looks like someone already talked to them - might have been me - I was a little intoxicated.

Bad people drink bad beer. You don't usually see an empty bottle of Rochefort tossed onto the side of the road
