Or, is there a chance we could get the techies sailing?

The big tent at Northern Maine Brewing was blown down this winter in a gale and then buried in snow. The snow has just melted and the tent sits there in a heap. Large party seating inside the restaurant is limited to 16 people, so that’s what we have for a reservation. We’ll try to keep some nearby tables open for latecomers; maybe we can get creative. At least we’ll be warm this time and won’t need to reconfigure the hot air heating ducts again. When the waitress walked in and saw us at work she was a bit shocked, but Dan Clapp stood up and said that it’s ok, "we know what we’re doing: we’re engineers!"
