I'm not going to reveal details, including why we were meeting where we did and when we did. However, I will say that conducting this specific type of meeting in such a context occurs often and doesn't require absolute silence and privacy. It does require an environment that doesn't include, for example, boom boxes, small weapons target practice, NASCAR racing or kids shrieking at the top of their lungs. I didn't expect to find any of this in the CL.
