I just one of the organizers of Oakland Nights Live scheduled for Oct 11th (evening) http://wiki.omni-oakland.org/w/Event:2014/10/11_Oakland_Nights_Live whether we can run our event later (until maybe 6pm or 7pm) in the ballroom during their setup, then move downstairs to the basement if necessary.

I think this might be ideal for both time to prep, low overhead, and use of the big beautiful ballroom!

the earlier weekends (4th & 5th  or  11th & 12th) work for me.

Best,
