[QUOTE=BostonMan781;3750497]That is why you never go anywhere they tell you to.[/QUOTE]This is a tough battle. Other like me can't host and locations we might have in mind may be unavailable (uncle LEO). My last encounter I was only semi-comfortable because it was practically in a public location.
Also want to mention that Tewksbury had no power along a large part of Main St. And there were tons of dark spots any mongers could have used for car dates right after the previous storm. So keep that in mind if you can't host and another large storm approaches. Power outages can lead to some helpful dark spots.
