Brisbane Installation Festival

Wed Nov 9 18:33:41 UTC 2011

Well coincidentally...

Yesterday we got confirmation from BCC Library that we have a room booking
for Saturday 7th Jan 2012 for the  whole day. It can accomodate 50 people

Here are some pics I took if you are interested. Community Room Brisbane
Square.<http://www.evernote.com/shard/s1/sh/b08621ba-5be0-49d2-aa68-4f7c0dfb2fc7/44c94d6103b2bdb005e0aa56e7c13b7c>

So yeah, bring on the Install fest!

cheers
James
