But then every place is somewhat inaccessible at that time.

It's not as if there is one place, far from the university where all the working professionals can be found. >> I'll bet you can recommend a place a block or two from your home that >> would be just perfect.

Apparently, TIES is here: http://tinyurl.com/yt4hfn (Google Maps long URL) 1667 Snelling Ave. N., St. Paul, MN 55108 And that is very near to the UMN St. Paul campus. So why is it so great to meet out there near Roseville? It would help your case a lot if you could explain yourself. I have nothing against the idea of meeting there but I don't know why it is better than the EE building at the U because I've never been to TIES and you haven't told me what is better about it. I don't care if "various professional associations in town" hold meetings there -- how does that help TCLUG? Mike
