Is that a traditional style of living ? people don't like to work hard during
the week of the Thanksgiving ? and the Christmas ? 
Why is it not convenicent on 11/26 or 12/24 ? that's sounds like anything
can't be done on these two days, it's really ridiculous.

I would think that most people are either in route to either relatives firend
or families are actually PREPARING for the holiday festivies.  And for some
catholics, 12/24 is more of a holiday than 12/25.... 
at least in my families tradtion....where we usually fast but prepare for
festivities that come after midnight mass... and we are usuaully talking big
party.

"at a location to be announced", but lately the normal place has been in ITI's
cafeteria (in Ann Arbor).  Grex doesn't have its own facilities.

Well, actually I haven't seen the pumpkin, but my impression is that it
wouldn't be a reasonable place for a board meeting.  But yes, we rent space
to house hardware, & I guess that's "facilities".

Here are directions to ITI, pasted in from an old coop item (previous
incarnation of coop, I mean).  I didn't write them, mind you.

Directions to ITI:
Take US-23 to the Washtenaw Ave. exit (exit 37B).  This puts you on Washtenaw
Ave, going West.  Turn right onto Huron Parkway.  This winds and twists for
quite a while. Turn right on Hubbard, then make your first possible left into
ITI (which has a hard-to-read silver sign out front).  Watch out for handicap
parking spaces when you park -- there are a lot of them.  Inside ITI, go
straight back to the funky toys in the lobby.  Turn left, and the cafeteria
is ahead and to the left.

On Huron Parkway, if you reach Plymouth Road, you've gone too far.

Another way to ITI is to take US-23 to the Plymouth Road exit.  Go West on
Plymouth Rd, to Huron Parkway.  Turn left onto Huron Parkway.  Hubbard comes
up pretty quickly from that side of town; turn left onto Hubbard and then
take the first possible left to get to ITI.

(The Pumpkin is the room that currently houses the assorted computer equipment
that makes up Grex.  It is so named because the walls are a rather pumpkinish
orange, and have vines painted on them.)

Yeah, the vines were a later addition.  First the colour, then the name, then
the additional paint job.  
(I've never actually seen this mythical paint job either.  Perhaps a
pilgrimage would be in order.)

Hey, I value my innocence, Valerie!      8-{)]
(Unfortunately, the web page is fairly unhelpful without something better than
lynx.  The only descriptions of the pumpkin, from the POV of its feasibility
as a meetingplace (which is the excuse for drifting into this) are "small"
and "windowless" ... plus the amount of stuff, mostly electronic & probably
noise-&-heat-producing, currently occupying that small space.)
