Yes yahoo can suck. If you don’t mind checking it online (and I don’t) it’s not
too bad. Hopefully we will get out website/forum/mailing list thing all sorted
out and then we can abandon yahoo groups.

However, how about finding a restaurant that has a meeting room?
Ballydoyle’s in downtown Downers Grove has a nice room in the back, for
example. It’s pretty closed off from the rest of the restaurant, so maybe
people wouldn’t be too shy about bringing their MOCs. (Don’t expect me to,
though, as I have nothing to show off.)

I found their website. However, I couldn’t find
anything on prices of food. I would expect that price is a concern for people.
It is for me. What range are we talking here? Is it around the same as an
Applebees? More? Less? As for being too shy, well people will still have to walk
through a restaurant with their MOCs, but yeah probably better.
Aside from those questions, it sounds like a good idea to me. From what I
gather, both NELUG and rtlToronto meet at restaurants, so it’s not unheard of.
Someone will probably need to call them and clear it.
I’ll bring MOCs, heck I’ll probably have a few that haven’t been posted yet.

Any idea how many people to expect?

I’m guessing here, but between 5 and 10? The poll on the yahoo group only had
like 6 out of 21 participating.

Of course if you want New York Strip steak it's going to cost you more. I'm sorry I don't recall exact (...) (20 years ago, 1-Sep-04, to lugnet.org.us.clb)
