        Rotating cities is a key concept, I believe.  Rachel suggested some
places in Raleigh, Dennis suggested Durham (although Brightleaf may be
one of the few suitable spots to gather).  Perhaps we should take a step
back and consider our criteria for a suitable meeting spot.  Setting
aside convenience of location for the time being, the factors I have in
mind are:  

-  Able to comfortably accomodate 50-60 people.  
-  This means space enough for mingling and sitting down.  
-  Broad selection of good beverages, preferably the foamy kind.  
-  And good food, not too pricey.  
-  Handicap accessible.  

Secondary criteria, from an organizational point of view, are:  
-  Willingness to split checks for said 50-60 people.  
-  Willingness to set aside an area of the house for us.  

        What say y'all?
