If folks agree, why not simply pick a Saturday night that would be consitent each month and peg them for at least the first half of the year if not longer. That leads to some predictability; something that we know is coming and can put on the calendar long in advance to arrange work schedules and make it easier for others in the region to plan to join us. They all sound good to me, but preferably not those that we know will be so loud we can't talk or so crwded or small that we wouldn't have room.
