Actually it was a 24 hour place for the stuff, just not the people.
That was a huge advantage. There are very few places that will give
you a space to occupy 24hrs without spending huge $$$. Most (all)
hotel conference rooms are scheduled by the half hour and it is impossible
to get them 24hrs unless you have tens of thousands of dollars to throw
around. We are looking at getting a place in the main campus of George
Mason University for next year. It's a new modern building. Plus it's
in Suburban Fairfax County, so it will be much easier to find, and
the Hotels might be less expensive.
