[kwlug-disc] New locations brainstorming

[unsolicited]

What I'm trying to get at is ... where is the new member in person 
assistance, on meeting site, time, space, topic, kibbitz, whatever?

	Where they don't have to wrestle with transportation issues beyond 
just getting to/from the meeting site, or feel awkward sitting in a 
restaurant with just a glass of water. [Yes, I know, everyone who goes 
is more than happy to give someone a lift TO.]

If there isn't any, or isn't any interest in such, that's OK, I just 
need to know where the lug stands so I don't misrepresent it to 
potential sponsors.

If this is just a bunch of hobbyists getting together for a gabfest 
and a round together, that's OK too. Group dynamics and desires and 
all that.
