What we need
- Need a venue before we get a date
- See below for a consistently-updated to-do list
I encourage you, if you know of a possible venue - to research the venue, take pictures of it
talk to their management and find out how feasible the place is. I've found a handful of places
but I only got as far as their register jockey droids who just gave me a card and told me to
call someone. I'll be following up with the -7- 6 places I have in the next few days. Any
additional venues you find, either pass the info to me or follow up with them yourselves
and post any pertinent data here
