Well, I think ARL will also require me to escort people to the
restroom now, so there will be annoyances either way.  And
someone will need to bring a projector, etc.

It's because they are technically supposed to charge for
external groups to use the facilities, unless it is for state
business.  They've really been a bit too lax about it until now.
If we want to keep meeting there, I need to justify in writing
how our meetings are benificial to the state.  And since I'm the
only person from ARL who goes to the meetings, it's a bit of a
hard sell. :)  That's why I'm hesitant to continue meeting
there; I don't want to put ARL on a slippery slope.

If we end up moving, it would be easier to go ahead and do it
this month so I don't have to generate red tape for just one
meeting.  I do like hosting at ARL, but I'm just not sure if
it's worth it with the new restrictions.  It is a sucky
situation.
