<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">For those of you coming out to fight the Arlington Library demo, thank you. The demo runs from noon until 5:00 - please try to arrive at least an hour early so we can get our gear in and set up, and decide where we want to fight.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">~~~~~~~~~~~~~</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">There are three options for fighting, two inside and one outside:</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">First, there are three reading / study areas with tables in three corners in the main room. If we decide to move the tables we can have a nice sized area in one corner and leave the other two to artisans and displays. The downside to this location is we will have to be VERY careful.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Second, and my preference, there is a multi-purpose room downstairs with access to the kitchen (for water) and the restrooms. It is carpeted, there is a stage on which to place gear, the doors can be closed between demos and gear left there safely, and lastly - the room is HUGE, and even with a large audience we will have plenty of room to fight.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">There is one option to fight outside, the front lawn outside the main entrance. I am not in favor if this location because the ground just doesn't look safe. The area is a long hump of ground, almost a mound, with trees and a water meter box and concrete blocks set in the ground for light poles that used to be there. There is a sidewalk and small patio where the audience can watch. The only advantage to this location is it has high street visibility and might attract persons driving by along Center Street…</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">But we can make the decision where to fight when we get there, I figure if we do two or three half-hour demos we'll have plenty of time.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">~~~~~~~~~~~~</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I am going to try to be there a little early as I will have to drop off my gear and bug out to pick up Duchess Willow and family.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Again, thanks.</FONT>
