    I'd also be interested. Brand new to this hobby so I'll be
    observing and asking a lot of questions.

    Hope you guys don't mind that I stuck the thread. I'm still feelin' bad about not having done the same for the Texas guys.

    Thanks,

    Lynn

    Hi-

    The MIT student center would be a great place for the meetup, but it's incredibly difficult to reserve, even for official MIT groups. They book it pretty far in advance, and there's some level of scrutiny as to whether the activity is MIT-related.

    Has anyone ever booked a school gym or cafeteria? How does that work?

    I guess the biggest thing was making the event accessable and central to Boston. (Public Transport)

    Something that would be cool, but maybe not practical,
    would be the back room of an old style neighborhood
    barbershop. Might set the right tone for the event. If
    not, usually an American Legion Post or local union
    hall can be had for pretty cheap. Maybe not the prettiest
    places but they usually offer "refreshments" if the mood
    should strike.

    I'm in Rhode Island and depending on schedule, I'd come up. I went to school in Boston. A Public school rather than private might be a better bet, or as Kerryman said, an American Legion or union hall, or what about Knights of Columbus? They rent their halls out for anything.

    I'm definitely interested in attending. Although, for obvious reasons, St. Patrck's Day is not a good day for me. Also, you may want to reconsider meeting in Boston on St. Patrick's Day unless you love parade traffic.

    Of course, AROUND 3/17 would be swell. I'm pretty new too, and I would love to sit and chat with you guys. I recommend the Green Briar in Brighton, the Kinvara in Allston or the Black Rose in Boston for watering holes, although I don't think they'd appreciate a bunch of dudes showing up with straight razors.

    Maybe they'd be more after-gathering gathering spots...

    Don't just think of the student center. While I can't reserve rooms myself, I do go to a couple of groups that use classrooms. They are much easier to get, and there are many different types. I'd suspect we would want one with tables, rather than those desk/chair things.

    BRILLIANT! Tables or tiered desks would be great! Especially in that main building. Now, we just need to figure out who can reserve one.

    Jim, any one of your groups want to be nice enough to help reserve a room?
