Sushi club would *not* work. Not even close. Have you ever sat at a table? With 4 people it takes about 60-90 minutes to get your order. With 20, it would probably take closer to 2-3 hours.

Plus, it's *not* cheap. You can't get outta there for under $20. At Bully's if you really want to, you can eat for $10.

There isn't enough parking there. That lot isn't all that "full", but you'll never find a block of 10-15 spots open.

And finally, sushi is a *terrible* idea for a meet spot because not everyone likes sushi. It's not like you can get a burger, or pasta, or something non-sushi there. It's sushi, tempura, or starve. Hell, some people can't even eat non-sushi when they're around people eating raw fish (my GF for example has a hard time w/ it).

Now, I'm a sushi fanatic... but I can still recognize that moving the meets to a sushi place it an awful idea.
