 Where in Metairie could we get a free room, projector, and a net drop?
 And as Joey said, the last time we met off UNO (other than at a
 restaurant, of course) was a bit of a nightmare, with people making
 sales presentations to us every 10 minutes. That's not why I go to the
 meetings, though I don't mind it occasionally.

 For what (little) it's worth, I live uptown and work downtown, so
 Metairie's harder for me to get to than UNO from work, and just as hard
 from home.
