this month at least well be at the old location
2600 is trickier, as the whole point is to have that in a public
place. Thats probably something worth discussing over on the oh2600
list

Would it be appropriate to have the next Lock Sport and 2600 meetings
at the Burning River space? It is more central than Panera or
Starbucks.
