Guess I'd best bottom post here :-) I always thought the
attraction of Tucson's is that we could get a good salad
there while doing the meeting. The dining fare at most
libraries leaves a lot to be desired. Then the attraction
of the meeting room is that we don't actually have to sit
with people who simply showed up to get something
to eat.
After many months of just going home at 9pm, the Tampa
Slug (some) people started going to Bennigan's on Dale Mabry
(it is near Mons Venus, for an instantly recognizable
locator). They usually are able to set up a table for 10
or so with some advance notice. But it is too noisy
for a real meeting. The TBCS Linux SIG met after
the real meeting at Stake and Shake, but the same
issues apply. (That SIG has been disbanded, BTW)
The S&S (19 at Nursery) always could accommodate
8 or 10 of us by pulling tables together but that
was at 9 PM which is a lot different than 7 PM.
That's about my experience with this.
I don't have a lot of ideas that are Pinellas-specific.
