Hey Matt, looks like i'm late to the party but put me on the wait list in case anybody can't make it.
I'll make a waitlist but I think 11 should be fine - more than that and the waitlist will be firmly implemented. Worst case is we have 11, and I can bring $37 worth of pastries and a jug of coffee from Bridgeland Market

SL888 are you still wanting to come? Please see PM.

Thanks for everyone paying ahead and Bob for confirming your attendance.
We will have 11 so I'll pay for pastries and/or coffee that isn't Tim's (because I don't hate you guys).
Contact info will be added the night before the event to the first post. We will be meeting for 9am at the main entrance. -Matt

I'm planning to come down around 8:30am to take some shots of the entrance and exterior if anyone else wants to come in earlier.
Will probably be heading out by 10-10:30am as well
I was gonna head up there earlier as well.
Anyone know how parking is around there on a sunday? I don't head into downtown often.
There should be plenty of street parking located at 8 Ave and 4 St SE. You could attempt to park at the clusterfuck "traffic circle" that is 7 Ave and 5 St SE but wouldn't advise.
There is also paid parking if needed right by the entrance.

There are 2 big parking lots 1 block East of the library right beside each other - one CPA if you want to pay (Daily max $2.00 on Sunday), and one Indigo lot if you don't want to pay. Every time I'm in the area I park there without any issues as the street is the first to fill up if it's busy for whatever reason (music center is right there too). I've never seen the lots full but YMMV.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
There's also cheap heated underground CPA parking 2 blocks away (the buildings immediately South of CharBar).
Something from the library, important information for us I just got:
Hello Matthew,
We look forward to having you this Sunday!
Please be aware we will have a Library staff waiting for you at 9:00am to let you into the facilities, we ask that all you group be present to insure we don’t lock anyone out.
Also want to inform you that it will be a busy morning possibly when you arrive. There is a Hyundai Commercial shoot also schedule in the morning from 6:00am -12:00pm they will be filming externally on 8th ave SE and 3rd street only however road access may be impeded for vehicles. I have informed the locations manager of your group so that you will not be impeded but please inform your members that this is taking place as well so that they are not taken off guard. I have attached their location map for your reference on where they will be. Please disregard the timings on it.
I hope you have a great weekend!

I guess a no go for early exterior shoot.
Looks that way, unfortunate timing
