[lug] LUG Digest, Vol 101, Issue 19 -- Announcement - New venue for BLUG meetings (anna)

[Davide Del Vento]

- parking is free on walnut at any time if you go "west enough" (ah,
the wild far west :-) Really, you have to walk just half block

- downtown is very well served by bus, and reachable by bike from many
locations. FWIW, I skipped BLUG meetings in the past, when I was
carfree (http://blog.javacorner.net/2007/04/carfree-in-boulder.html),
just because Aztek location was not very convenient for me. Even now
that I have a car, I still like the new location better
(geographically, I mean, I haven't seen the room).

- if you skip the pizza and arrive after 7, parking is free. If you
want pizza I believe it'll cost you a quarter.

I personally go in that area relatively often for dinner (or lunches
on weekends), and while it's undeniably harder to find a parking spot
than on Aztek parking lot, I've never spent more than 5 minutes or
more than $1 on it.
