[Hidden-tech] pay for podcast instruction

[Christopher Miles]

IMHO, finding space is always a big problem in this area. I have  
worked on a couple small plays and I am also a member of a local  
group of software developers, finding a place where people can get  
together cheaply is something I have long been interested in. I have  
spent time calling around and trying to find a space but I haven't  
had any luck yet.

Right now we meet up at Panera Bread in Hadley. This works pretty  
well but it isn't really a good venue for  any kind of presentation.  
Generally we all meet and chat as a group, things are pretty free- 
form. However, we're interested in having more formal presentations  
every so often, we meet every two weeks and we're thinking about  
presenting _something_ every third meeting.

A place that is inexpensive and close to places to eat (like a coffee  
shop) would be ideal. Are there places like that in the area? If  
there's a fee and there are other groups interested in sharing the  
fiscal weight, I'd be interested in talking it over and seeing if  
that's something we could do.
