As I mentioned at the meeting this past week, dropping the current lease would allow us to all have input on the terms that we've talked about. 
We can enter a new lease (with Sudo Room as lessee) at 2141 Broadway and/or wherever satellite groups set up.

Regarding children, and with no bearing on the appropriateness of George's behavior, liability issues become more extreme when kids are involved, emotionally and financially. There are additional municipal requirements too - registration, safety measures, etc. - that would need to be met. I will look into what those things are. Presumably, most landlords will try to shift most of that responsibility to the renters in the leasing agreement.

Sudo-kids was off to a quiet start with some piano lessons and food
preparation when our landlord came in yelling "everybody out! all kids
out! no kids! everybody under 18 leave the building!" He claims that 2
weeks ago, Laurie sent all tenants an email to the effect of children
being generally unwelcome. We talked him into backing down for
tonight, but not before the kids were exposed to a lot of abusive
behavior and language, sadly.

Some reasons he cited were:

 * Lack of insurance
 * We don't pay for the common space, or not enough
 * A recent sudo-kids event where a gross mess was left in the bathroom.
 * A (perhaps related) event where kids were smashing something with a ball (?)

He also provided a new and different interpretation of his birthday
proceedings, namely that furniture and things "temporarily" removed
would perhaps not return afterwards.

Interactions with him are always difficult. As usual, his concerns are
real, but his way of communicating them absolutely unacceptable. His
willingness to take a room full of children of all ages down this
well-worn path of abusive tirade leaves me especially demoralized.
