[ale] Install Fest????

[Jeff Hubbs]

I put in a call on Wednesday to the office at Perimeter Mall to gather
information and I was shunted to the person who handles such things.  I left
voice mail.  Yesterday, I went by the office in person but the woman I was
shunted to earlier was not available.  So, I'm not getting very far even at
the info-gathering stage.  There is a spot in Perimeter Mall (downstairs,
out in front of the Radio Shack) that they periodically clear out for
various events (at the moment, they're having a blood drive there) - plenty
of space.  

My enthusiasm for this location will droop if it turns out that the mall
can't provide tables and chairs.  I can understand ALEers providing
everything else from power strips on up, but I would be surprised if any of
us can secure and transport a pickup-truck-load of tables.

If I finally get some info, I'll pass it along.

- Jeff
