Hi Andrew: I have been visiting a lot of libraries both for reading programs for my son as well as to show libraries my new book, and I'm noticing that many have very nice meeting rooms that are not used very often. I recommend looking at library websites for NY and LA, and I would then recommend asking others who visit their local libraries in those cities to take a look on your behalf. You might want to join some additional groups, like children's book club lists to ask their opinion as well.
You might be surprised how affordable the rooms are, and many libraries have WiFi, which is a bonus. All the best, Andrew --------------------------------------------------- Andrew Darlow Editor, The Imaging Buffet http://www.imagingbuffet.com Author, 301 Inkjet Tips and Techniques: An Essential Printing Resource for Photographers - http:// www.inkjettips.com On Jan 8, 2008, at 1:00 PM, Andrew wrote: > Last year while I was living in Mexico I did a neat workshop on > creating puppet podcasts (I'm a professional puppeteer and write a > blog about puppetry in film & video at > http://puppetvision.blogspot.com ) and I am planning to do similar > workshops creating web shows/video blogs using puppets in the first > half of 2008 and looking for suggestions for locations in New York and > L.A., where I will be visiting later this year (I am close to > finalizing plans for a Toronto workshop already). > > The workshop is a two day intensive and introduces all the basic > video, computer and puppetry skills required to start creating > podcasts with puppetry (obviously, I provide an overview...it's > impossible to cover every skill needed in depth in a couple of days or > even a week).
