APM: Show of hands for informal meeting at Mangia

[Sam Foster]

We've been using the libraries for another group I meet with regularly. 
They have free, quiet, bookable meeting rooms with free wireless. This 
month we tried the Yarborough branch, on Hancock/Burnet. That turned out 
to be pretty hard to get a slot after 6pm, but it had the advantage of 
being just across the road from Billy's (nice pub/bar, free wireless).

Texpresso on Anderson La. opposite the Alamo has a nice meeting room 
with big screen, but its $25/hr I believe. If we could find a sponsor to 
meet us even halfway that would be a great location.
