[Bryn-gwlad] Another possibility

[Sir Lyonel Oliver Grace]

Salut cozyns,

Parking garages come in many shapes and sizes. Some have low ceilings. Some 
are mostly sloping. I know the one my vehicle is parked in at the moment has 
long stretches of level space but has ceiling beams too low for great 
weapons or overhead wraps (scorpion shots). I also know that it takes 
forever to get permission to use any of the IBM facilities, and the answer 
is usually no. Nonetheless, just in case, I've sent a request to the site 
coordinator.

The indoor sites we used in Idaho included a large underground garage with 
ten-foot ceilings, my two car garage (no ceiling but no room for more than 
one fight at a time), a geodesic dome that was part of a warehouse complex, 
an old unused squash court that ISU had been planning to refurbish for 
several years, and the carpeted dining hall of an Elks lodge. Our weirdest 
arrangement was with the Elks. Anyone could use the hall if they paid for a 
banquet. To meet this condition, everyone ponied up two dollars per 
practice, and the Elks kitchen would put out a table for us with doughnuts 
and coffee or chips and salsa with cheap sodas. The folks in Salt Lake used 
a junior high school gym that had a concrete floor (I have no idea how they 
got permission).

En Lyonel
