indeed. If we do it in the Galerie de la Reine, I would not mind doing it in October (after it can be cold outside even if covered) The place we will propose will determine the kind of people we plan to meet and adress : eg. * Rue Neuve, not covered unless we bring our tonnelles (aka market tents, I own 2), very many people (probably one of the most crowded street in Belgium) who are shopping. Maybe difficult to interest. * Galerie de la Reine, covered, many people, probably mostly tourists; more place than Rue Neuve, less crowded but still many people, probably more easy to interest. > I will be present if the event take place on a thursday or friday. but most of us work on such days.
