SPUG: Re: Hosting SPUG meetings (fwd)

[Jim Blizard]

I am recently washed and would gleefully attend meetings if there were
convenient.  I work in Bellevue(near Microsoft) and live in Lynnwood.  If an
east side venue where available I would attend nearly every meeting.

You make an excellent point.

I wonder how many more of the 'great unwashed' of the Eastside are
not speaking up.  Traffic going towards downtown during the evening rush 
hour is nightmarish even on a good day.

The offer is still open for the Lucent facilities in Redmond.  Dare I
suggest
we consider multiple venues?
