Somewhere accessible by train and car would be ideal. Downtown PA has, at best, mediocre freeway access and parking.
Somewhere quieter than a bar or pool hall might be more conducive to conversation.
As much as I'm ashamed to admit it, the "trendy" impression I have of Blue Chalk is a personal turn-off. Besides, I'd want my potential co-founder to be frugal enough to avoid such an establishment pre-funding.
Good point. We'll probably change the venue to something very quiet, once we find a better host. I asked Sun. Hacker Dojo is a good idea too, but we'd need to find a host (otherwise it's $100/month to be a member?).
Hacker Dojo is probably ideal. I hate having "real" discussions at Blue Chalk. It's decently quiet around 1pm, but it gets pretty loud around 5pm and later. So unless you guys hold it at a decently quiet venue, i probably won't bother attending.
Snarkiness aside, constructive criticism:

Perhaps something like the Hacker Dojo?
