venue

[chhotii]

Various calls and e-mails have gone to the Armory. They do not seem to be in correspondence mode on the weekends.

However, I have just had a completely insane thought: the Somerville Theater! Considering how important the Sci-Fi movie marathon was to him (at least until recently, when everything changed), this would perhaps be fitting. Don't they have a smaller theater space?

Someone, either tell me that I have gone insane, or find out what this would cost.

I have the option to contact Q to talk about the UU church in Arlington. This would be a more traditional-looking option, but with the Jesus sauce on the side. Since Rich, as far as I know, never stepped foot into the UU church in Arlington, I'd rather that that be kind of last resort option.

Oh, to have venue settled, so we know when and where. I am impatient.

Posting this for lcs, who is not on lj (or facebook) and I believe would like to keep it that way; if you need their contact info let me know:

- the Armory has a cafe area that can be good for smaller and more
intimate events; I'm not sure what the occupancy limit is, though.
The drill room is a big venue and can't really be subdivided.

- the UU church of medford has a big social hall that's quite elegant
but not a bit churchy - that's where [...] potluck seders have
been. I think it'd be a good place to fall back on, and cheap to get
with a contact. [...] I could make connections if they want to consider that.

The cafe has a capacity of 52, with chairs and tables for 35. I've seen more people than that packed into there, but it gets pretty uncomfortable. I get the impression that Rich had many, many more friends than that in our local area.
