We have typically had about 15-20 people show up for these type of
events.  I think we had about 12 people at our Global Bug Jam event
earlier this year (late winter / early spring).  Do you think that the
WBEZ location would work?

If you could ask your supervisor, that would be great.  :-)

If this doesn't work out, we need to consider other options ASAP.  :)
