I'm the other. I am currently on crutches due to reconstructive surgery
on my ankle. (Long story.) So I can not drive and have limited mobility
for the next month or so. OTOH, I talked to Bob McGoldrick and we can
get a room at ACC. I don't know about a room with wifi though.

Due to experience with running a public group out of my apartment (long
time ago) I would advise against doing that. (I wound up moving and
getting an unlisted phone number. Which I can't do now :-) The rest work
so long as the management is OK with it. Usually the expect people to
order something and a lot of groups get booted because not enough people
order anything.
