I don't really like the idea of holding an event in a public space like a restaurant. Derek's Denton bank room might be just the place, I'm fairly certain most people wouldn't mind a $2 kicker to rent the room.
What hours would the room be available for, Derek?
If nothing else, I know there was an Arlington AD&D Club that used one of the recreation centers to play every other Saturday. Rec center rooms are another option, certainly, it's just too bad we don't have a Games Plus type store down here.
So far it looks like the 27th is the favored time, although we haven't really heard from too many people yet.
