Subject: [Tuxaloosa] Meeting place - OK without beer?
Message-ID: <AANLkTiltB_8DFhpEIUwzqiIWEGdNRZ9hTJZSgCO-0_me@mail.gmail.com>

So the perennial question comes up - where can we meet to be able to
hear each other, hook up laptops and get to hang out...  I know we
love us some beer, but is lack of beer and food a dealbreaker?

I work for UA, and will look into forming some sort of organization
that can host meetings like this.  The acceptability of it to the
campus standards is a little hazy right now, but if possible a space
on campus with tables and wireless might be possible.  OIT has some
nice facilities but food and drink would be questionable.  As for the
other campus spaces, beer is definitely out but bring-your-own food
and beverages is certainly possible in classrooms, et c.  As I
understand it the UAPD does not ticket after hours.

So, any thoughts?

I can make it without beer, I guess, and it's easy enough to 
make a pit stop to pick up food if needed.  A nice meeting 
place with decent net and a place to talk is far preferable
anyway.

I have wondered if Wilhagan's had ever been brought up at a possible venue?

They've got the beer, wi-fi, fairly quiet for Tuxaloosa meeting
times.... (I think).

They are lacking on the electrical plugs, however.

Hrm, I *like* Wilhagen's.  They've got *good* beer too - 
very nice selection there.  I personally have plenty enough
battery to make it through an evening (and then some), but
I realize that's a concern for some.
