[Cialug] OT: Local geek hot spot

[Rocket Robin Hood]

Is Lan-Minds open? I've been passing that place all summer, always
seeing the 'open soon' sign.

I'm not sure what they offer at the Cup O' Kryptonite, on Fleur? Right
by that art movie theatre? But that's a nice place (I've bought comic
books there) and I _think_ I saw people w/laptops hanging out.
