To bad (not) :) I moved out of Utah a year ago.
Ok, makes sense that the park might not be ideal, especially with it getting dark early now.
My first thought was meet at a Denny's or some other inexpensive high capacity restaurant, and then some other place more appropriate (sort of like PMI does).
I haven't been to the libraries here (or anywhere in years really (thank you Internet)), but it used to be possible to "rent" "quiet rooms" for free, it was just a matter of scheduling.
Does anyone know if that's allowed here in CA?
Or any other gathering places like that?
Thanks,
