Am 17. Sep, 2009 schwätzte David Huerta so:

moin moin,

I haven't seen anything resolved for this.

We need a meeting place for this month by Monday afternoon or we should
cancel the meeting.

Starting next month, we need to be in a new, regular location.

That would work for me.

We could supply an AP for use during the meeting if DeVry is fine with that.

DeVry is much closer to a freeway, so a better option IMHO.

Well, DeVry isn't too far from the end of the rail line :).

The stop on Camelback isn't too far from Rosie's :). Wouldn't work for the
under 21 crowd or for presentations.

There's probably something at 7th St and Camelback or 7th St and Thomas.
Those location aren't really all that west-sidish nowadays.
