I'll be at Deansgate Docks tonight for Geekup Manchester, so I can call in to both Pitcher&Piano and Revolution - there are other venues along there as well - but I'd like to check what exactly is it we're after? Power + Wifi? Enough room for 60-80 people? Something more? Is there a price we can work to (as in, do we need it for free, or should we look at asking a small fee for entering?)
