I just met with Dave at Texpresso, so here is the scoop. The room is $25 per hour to rent, if we do this it will be closed off and we can pretty much bring in anything we want to, blades, demo equipment, food, beer, etc... If we need a couple tubs of water or towels that kind of stuff will also be available. We can still use the facility without renting the room and still bring in everything minus the beer and maybe food but we will also be at the mercy of the weekend afternoon regular business. My thought is to rent the room for two hours, that will give us time to spread out and play around with our toys and have a couple of pints. At the end of that time we could clean up a bit but still hold a few tables and hang out for as long as we want to. If we get ten people, two hours will be five bucks each. If we reserve the room but it looks like there will only be four or five of us we can just cancel the reservation. The more who come the cheaper the room gets or we can reserve it for longer.
I am still good with either Sat. or Sun. Let me know how the room ideas sound to you and we can continue to hone in on the day.
