While lurking at today's irc meeting I was feeling pretty much the same
things that Gunnar says above. The decision of venue was made many
months ago. I'm not sure if it came across, but, in my earlier posts
this evening I was hoping to point out reasons not to be so concerned
about the venues space limits (and hopefully I didn't contradict
myself).
Hunting for a new venue would be a painful distraction at this point,
imho.
