[AG-DEV] VenueClient in two Venues?

[Michael Braitmaier]

Don't get me wrong. I didn't want to be in two venues simultaneously. I 
just wondered what happens if I just call the VenueCLients webservice 
call EnterVenue whne the
client already joined another venue before. So it seems there should be 
a ExitVenue call (which is not yet available as a webservice call in the 
VenueClient) beforehand to ensure proper functionality .
