[UFO Chicago] vintage tech show midwest

[Page Telegram]

I like ideas such as Wendy's. Im infrequent mostly because I get busy vs time burden of travel being longer than an hour. also I am in the poor bracket. total annual income for me is less than 16k.

my only objection to meeting at Wendy's is the lack of wifi. I am wondering if we consider meeting elsewhere where wifi is avail at some late night fast food chain. Taco Bell comes to mind. or perhaps a burger king. ive been to some that had wifi.

sit down restaurants for me is a deterant for same financial reasons mentioned above.

I have no objection to altering the date of the September in-person
meeting (I don't understand how your other proposed alternative --
altering the location of the meeting -- addresses the problem: if
September 8 conflicts with the Vintage Computer Festival Midwest,
it'll still conflict with it if you move the meeting somewhere else).

If you only have in-person meetings once a month, how can you tell if
someone is infrequently attending them?  Anyway, I have no objection
to keeping the Golden Nugget location for alternate in-person
meetings, and I have no objection to scrapping the Golden Nugget
location and having all of our in-person meetings at Wendy's.  I
actually have a slight preference for meeting at Wendy's all the time,
but not enough of a preference to make me object to the Golden Nugget
location.
