I'll second Richard's suggestion to approach Arts Court/Art Engine in that case. - Parking at the Rideau Centre is $5 flat rate after 6pm (it's where I park for attending ModLab gatherings; I live in Barrhaven) - For presenters lugging gear there are usually one or two spaces at Arts Court that can be reserved ahead of time. - For smaller gatherings, the ArtEngine M70 Lab has a built-in projector - Art Engine members have access to a selection of A/V gear for sign-out/off-site use. - For larger gatherings like next week's Pecha Kucha (http://www.pecha-kucha.org/night/ottawa/4) there's a large A/V equipped theatre space. - You'll get tossed closer to 10:30pm-11pm unless special arrangements are made. ;-) Andrew.
