Re Starbucks, the last time I went
by the place was packed. With the
weather cooling now, the outside
crowd will be moving inside, and I
suspect the GRLUG group will have
the same problem as at the Biggby's
across the road - no place to sit.

i.e., it might indeed be time to come
up with a solid plan B.
