If you wish, I will ask both these groups and tell you if either is willing. They should be.. I happen to be on the Boards of both. Another idea - Britton's Book Store on Bank Street Or how about doing the launch at Britton's Glebe Inc Book Store - 846 Bank St, near Fifth Ave. They do book readings for OIW authors once a week.
