	Scott and I went to a coffee shop on 14th and Nicollet called
'Cafe Guru' after we left.  There were a bunch of 2600 kids there, and a
few other TCLUGers showed up after we got there.

	The basic story is that we ended up being kicked out of almost
everywhere we went.  The suburbanization of America has left it with no
public spaces anymore.  :-(

	We did manage to hand out a fair number of fliers before we were
kicked out.  I'd say about 75% of them ended up actually being read.
People seemed responsive.

Have fun (if at all possible),
