As a follow-up on the previous discussion http://groups.drupal.org/node/140954 -- we will have a Spokane area Drupal meeting in a couple of days:
Day: Wednesday, May 11th, 2011
Time: 5pm - 6pm
Rocket Bakery
24 W Main Ave
Spokane, WA 99201
It looks like we'll have several people there! Proposed agenda:
a) Introductions
b) Announcements (other events of interest)
c) Time, date, and place for the next meeting
d) Drupal Clinic beginner's workshop - should we have one? See http://groups.drupal.org/node/146739
d) Lightning talks and questions - if you have something you'd like to show the group, or something you'd like to get help on from the group, you have five minutes or so to do it. Given the (probably) small size of the group, we can just huddle around a laptop I think?
If you have other agenda items to discuss, post them here or bring them to the meeting. See you on Wedneday!

Next meeting...
At the May meeting, we agreed that the next meeting would be somewhere in the Valley, perhaps around Sullivan and Sprague, and hopefully at a location that doesn't close at 6pm, so we could go a bit longer. If we stay on the 2nd Wednesday of the month, the next meeting would be June 8.
Myke - any luck finding a location? I'm hoping to get the next meeting date/location settled soon, and try to generate a bit of publicity (I found a few calendars and such that I'd like to try to get it onto and see if we get more attendance).

Locations in the Valley...
I drove down Sprague from Sullivan to Argonne Rd or so yesterday, and didn't see much -- it looks like people in the Valley like to get their coffee in drive-through stands (which won't help us much!)... There is a Starbucks at 506 N Sullivan that has seating though, and it's open until 8:30 pm, and they said the definitely have seating. How do people feel about meeting at a Starbucks?
Another possibility would be the Rocket Bakery in Millwood (3315 N. Argonne Road), which is open until 8pm. That might be nicer. I haven't ever been inside of it, but I've driven by numerous times, and it seems like it would be fine.
Thoughts?

Another place!
Here's another possibility:
Victoria's On Pines, 517 North Pines Road, Spokane Valley, WA 99206-5124 (509) 893-9102
Someone I know through another group suggested it as a good place for a meeting. ... but I just called them and they close at 6pm. Too bad!
Anyway, June 8th (the 2nd Wednesday) is only 1 week away now, so we'd better get organized if we're going to have a meeting, or maybe move to the 3rd Wednesday... but it's probably best to try to stay consistent? Thoughts?
