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.

I've got a friend-of-a-friend who knows the folks working at the Armory making a call for me this afternoon to try to get answers sooner than tomorrow morning. If I don't hear anything today, I'll call them again first thing tomorrow.

I think the Somerville theater is a great idea too - but I don't know if the private room would be large enough.
Tufts has some hall-spaces we could look into too if you like. Does anyone know what the rules of alumni/MIT rentals are? Maybe Kresge at MIT as another option?

I have still, despite more email and 2 more calls, not received any word back from the Armory. :(
I can post to see if anyone - maybe Chuck? - has a better contact. Or we can see about going forward with the Somerville Theater idea.

Well, we wouldn't be able to make a decision today anyway. Not until Thursday will I meet with Persis and look at the possible venue in Worcester. As I'm currently leaning towards Worcester anyway, we can wait and see whether the Armory and/or Somerville Theater get back to us sometime between now and Thursday.

I have heard from the Armory. They have availability. The price did not knock me over. They seem to have about the right size facilities. Depending on how picky we want to be about the time and the day of week, we may have a lot of flexibility about date. I have to sleep on the decision of the Armory vs. the place in Worcester. I have a direct e-mail address of someone at the Armory, so they are expecting to hear back from me. Thanks for helping me poke.
