Folks: My vote is for Holder's in Cupertino. It's easy to get to, has good menu and beverage options, and there's plenty of seating and parking. It can get a bit noisy if crowded.

This has led to the reactivation of the Relocation Committee, as the smaller space may not be as beneficial when there are other groups (or even sports events). Plus, I have heard some grumblings about the narrowness of the menu. With that in mind, I drove around to a few potential locations in the South Bay. Feel free to reply to the list with your preferences of the three viable locations – or, if you are on FaceBook, register your choices in the poll there… Denny’s 1140 Hillsdale Ave (at Almaden Expressway) San Jose https://maps.app.goo.gl/DHAGRoR37ZGQ1BMv8<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__maps.app.goo.gl_DHAGRoR37ZGQ1BMv8&d=DwMDaQ&c=euGZstcaTDllvimEN8b7jXrwqOf-v5A_CdpgnVfiiMM&r=TRTeM80vyQRzoaIHOhsGIDJFvuojLw-Fv66O4G7e_pY&m=0UsjQWVRaMqorVu8u3un8SPqmy8WmrFK6YyifMrpuTGw59Z94laXtLBvooz6p6py&s=EcszkgNssKYDzWWmAeV5IIBXLWTVzvN75EbZ08ZuOVc&e=> Open 24/7. Private room with projector and screen. WiFi. While there is a $200 minimum (which we should easily cover most weeks) the manager doesn’t seem too bothered, as he has a monthly group of five (which he’ll move out for us) who don't regularly meet the minimum. It’s an odd location (see map link above). You can only get to it from east bound Hillsdale or south bound Almaden, and exiting you can only continue on those routes. Medium sized parking lot. My only real negative about this is for us Legion of Rassilon folk, we’d have Denny’s five to six times a month! ;-) Despite that, this is actually my primary pick, as dedicated meeting rooms are far and few between… Menu: https://www.dennys.com/menu<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.dennys.com_menu&d=DwMDaQ&c=euGZstcaTDllvimEN8b7jXrwqOf-v5A_CdpgnVfiiMM&r=TRTeM80vyQRzoaIHOhsGIDJFvuojLw-Fv66O4G7e_pY&m=0UsjQWVRaMqorVu8u3un8SPqmy8WmrFK6YyifMrpuTGw59Z94laXtLBvooz6p6py&s=ofcHoXKaJs1DAv769eFfmwkfjBcGpV-N-OlWk2sps0I&e=> ----------------------------------------------------- Bossman’s Pizza 418 W Capitol Exp (at Vista Park) San Jose https://maps.app.goo.gl/fRbpD46cpDN5CSCP6<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__maps.app.goo.gl_fRbpD46cpDN5CSCP6&d=DwMDaQ&c=euGZstcaTDllvimEN8b7jXrwqOf-v5A_CdpgnVfiiMM&r=TRTeM80vyQRzoaIHOhsGIDJFvuojLw-Fv66O4G7e_pY&m=0UsjQWVRaMqorVu8u3un8SPqmy8WmrFK6YyifMrpuTGw59Z94laXtLBvooz6p6py&s=sbvVtWlttJbgwpdNe9NpLJ-KF0BhPDuiqyNzr09_trA&e=> Keith and Rani suggested this location, but they would want us out by 8:45 p.m. – so it’s not going to work for us. Pity. It’s another Indian-Pizza, but with a more diverse menu (plus there’s a new Supercharger in the parking lot!)

Open until 10 p.m. WiFi. Full Bar. No private room, but not busy on Monday evenings – plus they can add room dividers if we wish. There's a parking lot under the building, plus the remaining Valco multi-story lot is across the street. Location may be a little more central to our members.

Dead on Mondays (and no TVs, so no sports crowds). There are two seating wings, either side of the entrance, so we could reasonably be kept apart from the hoi polloi... May have a minimum of $300, but we may be able to negotiate. Part of a fair sized shopping plaza, with ample parking (and a Safeway for your post meeting grocery shopping needs!) though it’s a little more tucked into the suburbs, as it were...
