I forgot to give a plug to the restaurants across the street.
Definitely within walking distance but most of them are far too small
for a group of 20+. A couple had bars but are also small. A couple had
outdoor seating, but again small places.
Kim and I were talking that if we do this again next year, we'd have a
place in mind ahead of time, with printed maps/directions, and phone
numbers of local attendees that could help out if attendees get turned
around. Live and learn, and learn, and learn.

The lack of a watering hole (without having to drive or walk) was a slight
inconvenience to me, even though I'm local. We managed to get sizable groups
to go to places nearby pretty easily, although the groups might have been a
bit larger if no driving was required. Craig, Bo and I even went out for a
bucket of beers at a really cool blues joint after dinner Saturday night,
and didn't discuss word one of technology!

Exactly. That's why the lack of a central 'watering hole' hangout
was the most serious shortcoming. Even if you weren't a drinker,
being able to hang out together and socialize in the evening hours is
valuable, and that represents some of my best memories at conferences.
