This cuts both ways.  People who don't have convenient access to a car --
there are many more such people (especially students) than most car-owners
think -- might venture a subway ride, especially if they have an LCD
monitor (much more manageable than a big CRT), but definitely *won't* wend
their way through multiple bus routes to a suburban location.  Such a
location automatically shuts out people without a car at their disposal.

The answer, as with LUGs in general, is to think in terms of multiple
events rather than trying to serve everyone with one.
