[9:10pm] jokeefe: only the private ones lgel_
[9:11pm] Kendra: Talking to VS people about Dec 28, nothing concrete.  They have been having some funding issues.  I am going over there tomorrow.
[9:11pm] Kendra: Will be looing at an option for a Plan B just in case
[9:11pm] Bluestreak: K also suggested the Somerville VFW
[9:11pm] jokeefe: how many can fit in VS?
[9:11pm] Bluestreak: Chance offered the Crown, but Saturday would be a problem
[9:11pm] Bluestreak: Sunday the 29th or Thurs
[9:12pm] Bluestreak: the 26th would be better
[9:12pm] Bluestreak: Chance would perform for free but my Dance Friday DJ friend is not available
[9:13pm] Bluestreak: I could ask her if she has other leads on DJ who are good and work for free.
[9:13pm] Bluestreak: DJs that is
[9:13pm] Kendra: Probably about 50.  It's not a huge space, maybe twice as big as E5's main space.  A largish room.  How many are we trying to fit in there?
[9:13pm] jokeefe: VFW is $100/hr, but $300 min.
[9:13pm] jokeefe: 50-100 would be good
[9:13pm] Bluestreak: Crown could be free but is in LOWELL
[9:14pm] Bluestreak: SVFW certainly is convenient.
[9:14pm] Kendra: There is also the Blue Gallery space over by central.  That's pretty central and the guys reasonable price wise.  You can have a band, drinks and get noisy.
[9:14pm] Bluestreak: Can you get us in there?
[9:15pm] jokeefe: Crown is a nice space.  Blue Gallery worth considering
[9:15pm] Kendra: A lot of the bands I know play there and it is cheap from what I understand.
[9:15pm] Bluestreak: Is this the BG you mean? Looks hip http://www.outoftheblueartgallery.com/
[9:15pm] Kendra: I know the guy in passing.  I could maybe go talk to hm tomorrow while I am going over to Industry.
[9:15pm] Kendra: yes that's it.
[9:16pm] jokeefe: thank you
[9:16pm] Bluestreak: Yes thank you.
[9:17pm] jokeefe: Good that Chance would perform.  Other possibilities?
[9:17pm] Bluestreak: Chance has other leads. Cary (the DJ) does too.
[9:18pm] Bluestreak: I will work some more on it tomorrow.
[9:18pm] Bluestreak: Haven't heard from Bonnie yet (She is in demand)
[9:18pm] Bluestreak: She will prolly want to get paid 
[9:20pm] jokeefe: thanks
[9:20pm] jokeefe: the sooner we know, the sooner we can start advertising it
[9:20pm] Bluestreak: Understood
[9:21pm] jokeefe: Tasks - 2014 Campaigns
[9:21pm] jokeefe: I am looking for a space for a campaign training.  e5 could work
[9:22pm] jokeefe: Was thinking December, but it might be too busy.

[9:23pm] Bluestreak: Does it have to be before papers are released?
