Craig --

this is indeed an agenda item for yours truly. well, the venue list part 
anyway. 
the basic breakdown (in descending order of popularity) is as follows:

Raleigh = Flying Saucer, Players Retreat, Vertigo
Chapel Hill = W.B. Yeats, Lucy's, whatever is in Artist's Escape/Lido Bar 
space
Carrboro = Tyler's/Speakeasy, El Chilango!, Orange County Social Club
Durham = whatever hasn't gone out of business yet on 9th Street

** AND NOW FEATURING RTP GATHERINGS ** = Ray's!  (he, he, he)

for the most part, these places have been well suited to the gatherings 
because 
they offer a lot of float space and conviviality, without getting too 
fru-fru. 
we always want to explore new and different options, but like Mike pointed 
out, 
some basic requirements have to be met for the event to be a success.

regarding your erudite observation that a survey element would improve this 
process, i must say that i couldn't agree more. in fact, that is the point 
and 
focus of the .o0 Fall 2002 International INW Website Developers Conference 0o.

meeting details (incl. date/time/place) are soon to follow. if you'd like to 
be 
clued into the who/what/where, i would encourage you to join the inet-dev 
list:

and for a preliminary glimpse into current progress on the SurveyApp:

thanks for the interest! in classic Open Development form, EVERYONE with an 
interest is highly encouraged to participate. please let me know if i can 
provide further info and/or answer questions.
