SPUG: We Need a New HOME!

[Kevin Fink]

As before, N2H2 would be happy to host the meetings.

Advantages:
* Downtown
* Good bus access
* Relatively large meeting room (about twice as big as when we last met
  here)
* Internet connectivity
* Computer
* Data projector
* Convenient for those of us that work at N2H2 :-)

Disadvantages:
* Expensive parking
* Not much street parking
* Difficult access - the building and elevators are locked in the
  evenings, so we have to shepherd people in

The last of these disadvantages is a real pain, and I think a big part of
why the group decided to move to the Hutch.  Consider us a standing offer,
though.
