TriLUG has never had this, mainly because we provide free pizza during
our meetings so there's no reason to go to a restaurant afterwards.

For a while, though, some people went to a local bar afterwards for a
"Tri-Chug" meeting.  That hasn't happened in a while, though.

This happened a lot at TriLUG's old meeting space in RTP.  It happens
some at our current meeting space at Red Hat, but there isn't quite a
central location in the parking lot that's obvious for people to stop and
chat as there was in RTP.  Or perhaps most people just want to get home?

I'd also like to see more regular TriLUG lunches start happening.  Perhaps
we ought to designate one day, say Tuesday, each week and say the
first Tuesday of each month is the TriLUG RTP lunch, the second is the
TriLUG Cary Lunch, the 3rd is the TriLUG Raleigh lunch and the 4th is
the TriLUG north Raleigh lunch.  That way people could go to whatever
their local TriLUG lunch is and it would be on a regular schedule.
Thoughts?  Suggestions?

Cheers,
Tanner
