I was too lazy to read a few pages back, but what type of meeting place is everyone trying to figure out? I'm a manager at a restaurant in Cameron Park and we'd be cool to have a meet at the restaurant. Heck, there's even a full conference room/private party room upstairs. We've got a patio, bar, and dining floor. It's not exactly in the middle of a happening city, but then again I can get discounts and the cops aren't dicks here.
(it's a short distance from any real city action but then again you guys said you mostly stand around and talk about cars anyways. It's probably more of a win situation for me since it's only 5 min from my house and it's free promotion for the restaurant but I thought I'd present the option
Just let me know in advance if you wanna try it.)
