Just wondering if anybody has alternative suggestions for Non Official Meeting Spaces, the ones at Common Roots with out the back room are pretty hectic, it would be nice if we could find a similar setting as when we have the back room.

To Anodyne impromptu meeting was I think a bit less hectic, and perhaps we could meet at Studio Bricolage.

I think we should just meet at Studio Bricolage, Steve offered. It's a little less convenient to get to than CR (with the 35W bs), but more room and better parking.

The one time I was at Anodyne it was certainly better than CR when we don't have the back room, seems less busy.

One big minus of Anodyne though is no beer...

A less hectic environ would be great. I like CR, but for actually having a conversation, it leave a lot to be desired. Anodyne has that big common table which would make it easier to talk as a group.

Absolutely down with meeting casually at Leonardo's Basement (because Studio Bricolage is only one corner of that space) on some Wednesday nights. Just, y'know, we should make a point of signing up to use the space, and then call ahead of time to make sure it's still open.

by the way... Coming from south up 35W, to get to Anodyne & Leonardo's Basement, it's best to take the Diamond Lake Road exit, then get onto Nicollet & head north for, oh, something like 10 blocks. I think most folks come from north, though; would that be the 35th St. exit?

I like the idea about finding a space that could facilitate the casual meetings a bit better. SB would be fine, as long as we could have a key... I don't want to be locked out again, and if we could be down there, we could at least rotate beer duty.

We should still have some left from last time we wanted to go there right?

I could manage to have my basement available for a couple of meetings, but I'm not sure how many people would be willing to drive over here?

Consider that hair split.

i'll ask steve this evening if he's at LB (during mike's class)
