Great idea artgeekette!

Lots of tables and good gaming environment. Plus you get three hours free parking at santa monica place.

Feklhr said she can come to the social in santa monica in July. So i suggest we have the social in July. It would be a honor for us to have her as a special guest :P

Further, the chess park idea was shot down, it is a little too seedy.

There is a large sports bar on the 3rd street promenade called "Yankee Doodles". I think that would be a great place to have it. One can park at the mall down the street for three hours free as well as there being other public parking in the area.
