In our case, basically all of our income is going towards rent on the 
space. Convincing our landlords to accept bitcoin would be difficult-- 
what would *they* spend it on? Mortgage payments? Property taxes? 
Insurance on the building? Paychecks for employees?

When we (or they) are rich enough that we can spend money on things that 
are available in the Bitcoin economy, we might consider it. Until then, 
it's a non-starter for us.
