Re: Digest for berkeleylug@googlegroups.com - 2 updates in 1 topic

Dear All:

     ,The AC Transit 51B goes by the Algorithm Cafe every 15 min. on Sundays and the 72s (72, 72M & 72R) run on San Pablo about every 10 min. (maps and schedules at actransit.org) so it has good transit access.  From Berkeley BART take the 51B.  From 19th Street or El Cerrito Plaza BART take one of the 72s.

 FWIW, I concur, though I was there for only a brief while
 (because
 
 Deirdre was in the car waiting to go home).  I had a
 generally
 
 favourable impression:  This is a neat, attractive, well-run
 place that
 
 takes its coffee seriously.  It looked to me as if the major
 issues were
 
 noise level when it gets busy, and infeasibility of joining
 multiple
 
 tables when it gets busy.  So, it occurs to me that one way
 to deal with
 
 that obstacle (as an alternative to the 'a couple of
 people come early 
 
 and grab & hold one or a pair of 6-person tables'
 tactic) would be to
 
 reschedule BerkeleyLUG to earlier than Algorithm
 Coffee's peak business
 
 hours.  Algorthm Coffee opens on Sundays at 9am, according
 to the Web
 
 site.  I'll be a brief reconnoitre at 9-10am tomorrow
 would confirm that
 
 it's typically quiet and very uncrowded at that hour --
 at least as one
 
 data point..
 
  
 
 As to remoteness (which you've already covered, but
 I'll chime in
 
 anyway), it's a 1.4 mile walk from downtown Berkeley
 BART, which is more
 
 than some would be willing to do, but just a pleasant walk
 by many
 
 people's standards -- and (as you say) AC Transit
 certainly runs down
 
 University Avenue and San Pablo Avenue well enough.
