"...planning to hold evening jams and sing-arounds? "

PLAN? *grin*...surely you jest! This is 'group dynamics' at its best! Things flow!...some want quiet, intimate little spots where they CAN'T be found...some want the biggest, loudest spot possible. The thing to do is find the place where what YOU want to do will fit in best. (yes...that's right...tossing a clever Filk Song into a ballad session 'might' not be safe...*grin*)
