CADL does not have (allow) food or drink and is pretty sterile for casual meetings, though good for presentations. Gone Wired was hot and noisy (band) and not conducive to discussion. However, both were centrally located. The new location is out on the East side of town, and that is a concern. But, it is a pretty good environment for our meetings. It's not noisy. The drinks are good, and the food at least OK. And the owners are very helpful and cooperative. It was at least established that there was bus service to the Meridian Mall, which is close enough for an easy walk. However, I am still somewhat concerned about the location. So, it needs to be established how many members of GLLUG are unable or unwilling to travel to the Okemos location, or even are a bit unhappy about it. In general, I suspect everyone would be more than willing to try a new location that has all of the desirable features but a more central location. So, if you know of someplace, please offer it up as a suggestion. Alternatively, keep your eyes open for a likely spot. Again: How many of you are reluctant to attend because of the Okemos location?
