away from holidays, so I had it pencilled in.  So, are people okay with the
19th of January for rtlToronto/train3?
Is this being held at the regular library, or one with better parking access?
I like our regular library, but the volume of stuff I need to bring for a Train
event is much higher then for a robotics event.  It would be nice if we could
find a place with easier parking.  Its not a serious concern though, either way
I can figure out how to get my stuff there.

Well, the main issue is whether city bound people without cars can get out
to a location like Eatonville Public Library in Etobicoke.  They have scads
of parking, and we could even park at the Loblaws across the street.* The
majority of people are probably mobile with cars, but there are some who
might not.  I would think JeffE maybe.

The other issue is that being in a new location means not as many people
randomly might not show up.  While we've never really been in the business
of entertaining people, Lillian H Smith IS a children's library with the
inclusion of the Boys and Girls House collection and as a result, we get a
lot of enthusiastic audience members, which we might not get in a suburban
library.  FYI, did you know Lillian H Smith was the first children's
librarian for the City of Toronto in 1912?

But if there's a huge desire to not go back to Lillian then we could
probably go elsewhere.  I can look into this too.  Thoughts?  Anyone
ardently want Lillian or not Lillian?

(...) I prefer the 19th, I have a lot of building I want to do, and there is little chance of me getting it done by the 5th. Obviously for this reason March would be even better, but that's so far away. So 19th is good for me. Is this being held at (...) (23 years ago, 22-Nov-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
