I can't imagine that design faring well in EV. It would become fuel for the trash can fire on the first evening! LOL

Knowing some of the generalities without seeing renders would likely build even more anticipation.

Count me in too.

According to the article, you need to reserve seats through CLMC or Eventbrite?

Pretty sure there are no more seats to be had, it "sold out" quickly.

I'm disappointed every time I log in and don't have a private message with the library rendering.

Damn you!!!! I have a general sense of how it is laid out and its form, but nothing compares to a colour rendering. Really curious about how the cladding will look.

I wish I got to see the rendering early!! Will have to wait until someone posts it on this thread I suppose. I am not in the same elite circles as some forum members

There's been some cost cutting and scaling back on this project due to the Riverwalk washroom stall closure. Sorry. Don't shoot the messenger...

Surreal, you might be able to get tickets from someone here who can't make it. I think Chad said he booked tickets but might be working.

Today's the day! Much excitement!!

I'd be interested in taking Chad's tickets and meeting up for a drink after but my girlfriend has some family in town staying at our house ... Not sure if I have the luxury of leaving the house for this without repercussions

I think I'll still be able to make it. I'll just have to go while I'm technically still working. Call it my lunch break When do we have to be there by?

I've never been to one of these things so I don't want to miss it.
