No deal. Riverside or San Marco are the best places to hold these things, sort of close for everyone. Between all the nerds we have projectors and wifi hotspot phones any place with seating for 26 and a power outlet would work. Data centers are nice but the true spirit of 2600 is getting out in the grit and fucking shit up. Places like the airport or the Town Centre with hoards of people on the inter web facebooking would be great for teaching about good old man in the middle skills.
