No HVAC noise, false ceilings, and actual rooms.

I don't believe there is audio in the rooms, don't remember if they 
even have an audio system, and no audio system would be needed. 
(Unless recording.)

Think Working Centre (lower ceilings), pre-cafeteria, of about the 
space we occupied. Another room smaller (already booked), a 2nd 
larger. And a gym if we want an installfest or LAN Party.

I'll try to remember to look at the hours next time I'm there - it 
will be a while. If my Huether experience (Library city lot) is any 
guide, it's all free (unlimited?) after 6:00. Adam's link seems to 
confirm that, and shows additional parking just across the street. 
Even if it were only two hours, 7:00 - 9:00 mostly covers it, with the 
likelihood of a ticket for only going over by a little not too great.

Unless, of course, we order in pizza and have a gab / laptopfest on 
the kitchen counters afterwards. We'd probably have to feed the 
building rep.(s) a piece or two if we do. Maybe we could convert him 
to Linux ... hold on ... he already has! Somewhat. LAMP / Drupal even!
