    One other thing about the Brookdale Library is that we cannot charge for entrance. I don’t know if there is any leeway in that – like a “snack donation” or something. Sponsor dollars are okay.

    I just spoke with my contact at the Central Library, and she said that we will need to go through the http://www.mintahoe.com/go/centrallibrarympls link to reserve the space. Basically, due to cuts in library funding, they have outsourced the booking of their space. So, my contact there will not be able to pull any strings in [...]

    @Josh – Great thoughts there. I am with you 100%. We will likely not have many man-hours to invest in planning and such, so I would rather focus on making the event awesome for fewer people than having a bigger event with logistical problems. I have an in at the Central library – the same person [...]

    @Justin – That might be the case. If it’s a small event, Best Buy really doesn’t make sense anyway.

    Another possible venue: Central Library in Minneapolis

    @Justin, Why do you think Best Buy will not share their venue with us again?

    I like the idea of a University sharing space with us.

    CoCo St. Paul or Minneapolis might also give us a break on space costs.

    This sounds like great advice. Let’s keep costs to a minimum.

    That said, we do have a little budget left over from last year’s WordCamp that is sitting in Matt Barker’s bank account. He has offered to put those funds up if we need them for an event.
