Although I don't think we'd run into troubles on private property, I don't want to put people in the position of being at risk. If someone gets pulled over for something silly or speeding, and somehow the picks are found, they'd be screwed.


I used to be a corrections officer and was lucky enough to work for the courts for s short stint. My boss, who literally grew up in the courts, told me to politely refuse ALL searches by anyone saying, "According to my 4th Ammendment rights, you will need a search warrant to search me or my property, please feel free to obtain one and I would be happy to comply with the court order..."

I've used it a few times.

Cedar Rapids looks like the most center for us so far... Whpever lives in St Louis could drive over here and we could carpool, or visa versa.

Um.. yeah.. it ... is... :? Did you change the map? 'Cause I coulda swore it wasn't when I looked at it.

Anyway, the only issue I have with the carpooling idea is that it still represents an awful lot of car time for me, and it means more time away from work. I'd have to play it by eat either way. But if it ends up working out, I'd love to attend.

Map updated again. :-)

Figured out that if I tack down the places instead of just hilighting them then it won't hide them when I zoom out.

Ominkron, when I said I have a 13' x 13' and a 13' x 15' room is that both are available, and next to each other, best I can do. Looks like a large area to deal with regardless, anyone got a private jet :lol:

Lonetech, I misread your post. I was under the impression it was a single room. We shall keep you in mind. :-P

Any other takers?

Anyone? Anyone? Beuller?

If this is going to be it I was going to start calculating distances and whatnot to find the best location.

I know Geno is from Chicago and Exodus5000 is from Milwaukee. Maybe we could PM them and see if they would like to join us.
