I'd go for Quattro's... they do have that room off to the right.  But then
again, consider this a comment from the peanut gallery... I'd be driving
up from Nashville if I were to make it (TN that is), a 3 hour drive is not
high on my list of things to do on a Monday.

However, It would be worth my time on a Sat... C'dale or Fairview Heights
area... I have parentals living in Swansea and Mascoutah and my bro is in
his senior year at SIUC.  

Oh yeah, for those that are wondering about the new SIU president.  James
"Jimmy Dynomite!" Walker is a pretty good guy.  I went to MTSU, where he
is leaving to go to SIU.  He turned the campus into a mudbowl... but the
buildings were needed.  During his tenure he oversaw the contruction of:

Mass Comm building, home of the largest Mass Comm dept (of which most are
Recording Industry major) with some of the top facilities of its type.

Nursing Building.

Frat Row

New Dormitories

Business / Aerospace building

New steam plant w/ ability to generate electricty for the campus.

Moved the football team to 1A w/ massive expansion of the stadium

And probably his crown jewel:  New Library.  

He never rocked the boat in all the years I attended MTSU, and I never saw
a bad thing printed about the guy.  His goal was to increase enrollment at
MTSU to 20,000 by 2000, and I think he will have hit that goal this year.
(When I started back in 95 it was like 16 or 17,000).
