light night at the common place

if anyone would be interested in exhibit anything at light night the people at the common place have said we could potentially do something between 6 and 8. they have a PA and a projector and i'm keen to get something on there. it would be fun and a good for the common place as well as ourselves.

this isn't in anyway limited to vis com but i though some people might be keen to get involved.

email me if you are, rachelbarker1@mac.com
