I would LOVE to meet Caleb Chung. How exciting for those who can go.

I checked the link and sent a message to the host of the event asking if it will be recorded and made available to the public.

Did you contact Garden City Public Library or eventbrite.com? The web site appears to just be a ticketing service, and probably knows nothing about the event.

Hi mweed,
I was at the Event Bright web site and clicked on the Contact Garden City Public Library link. Just to be sure I'll Goggle the library and see if I can get a more direct address.

There are a lot of Garden City Libraries around. Fortunately, there was only one in Idaho. Being the very patient person that I am I called and called and called but couldn't penetrate the recorded message run-a-rounds. So I sent them a message on their web site, (which they have listed as www.notaquietlibrary.org) Now all I have to do is wait. That sound you are hearing is fingers drumming.

As long as you can get a good beat . . .

Try contacting these people 49er:

Thank you degers. The link you gave led to the same place where I left a message yesterday, and I called the numbers at the site without success. And being nuts, (one definition of being crazy is continually doing the same thing and expecting different results,) I'll probably try to call them today again.

I think it's possible to partecipate @ the event without admission, cos it's free

Hi,
I'm not trying to go there myself. I'm trying to find out if it's being recorded so those who can't attend will be able to listen to or view it.

(Thrumb bum bum bum bum, thrumb bum bum bum bum, thrumb bum bum bum bum, thrumb bum bum bum bum.......)

NEWS FLASH!

I just talked to the librarian in charge of the Caleb Chung talk at the Garden City Library. They hadn't planed on recording the talk and they need to contact Caleb to see if he is willing to have it recorded. If he agrees, they will give it a try. From what the librarian said she might be able to make an mp3, but she doesn't have any experience posting it to the internet. She said she will keep me advised via e-mail as she gets more information.

degers · « **Reply #12 on:** March 10, 2009, 01:44:35 PM »

Wow, wel done 49er, i see that persistance and a lot of finger drumming paid off!
Keep us posted!

mweed · « **Reply #13 on:** March 10, 2009, 02:05:38 PM »

Let her know that all us folks here on the Bob the Pleo forums appreciate her, and I would be happy to help her post and/or host the file for her if need be . . .

mweed · « **Reply #14 on:** March 10, 2009, 02:10:49 PM »

Another thought . . .

I remember us having a member who lives in the Boise/Eagle area. Maybe 49er, you could use your persistent talent to look over the 100+ member profiles here and find out who that member is, and PM them to go to the library with a video camera . . . Or, if' you're that member and you're reading this, consider it your first official assignment!

49er · « **Reply #15 on:** March 10, 2009, 09:24:18 PM »

mweed,
Maybe I missed one, but I went through the membership list and didn't find anyone living in Idaho, (or at least anyone who admitted living in Idaho.

) Tomorrow I'll e-mail the library back and let them know about your offer to post or host the event.

fancyfont · « **Reply #16 on:** March 10, 2009, 10:22:16 PM »

I've been trying to find the member that lives in Idaho, close too Eagle. I remember that it was in her neighborhood. She was going to knock on there door.

mweed · « **Reply #17 on:** March 11, 2009, 09:17:54 AM »

The member appears to be 3dogsandaduckie (see topic). But it appears she hasn't been to the forums in two months . . .

justbede · « **Reply #18 on:** March 11, 2009, 09:45:42 PM »

Just want to say a big well done to you guys over in the US i for one really appreciate the trouble your going to trying to get a recording. Big thumbs up guys n dolls!!!

SOME GOOD NEWS!

I got this message back from Garden City Library.

We’ve confirmed with Caleb Chung that we can record the event and post it on the website and we will try our best to do this. I’ll keep you informed about our progress! Thanks for your interest – we hope the teens in our community will take advantage of the privilege of hearing Caleb speak!

Thanks again,

Mweed, if you want I can let the librarian know that you are still willing to give technical assistance.

I wonder if the libriarian knows that a lot of us are post teenagers. Well maybe teenagers at heart! It sounds like Calebs program is aimed for teens.

Nice one 49er woop woop!!

Great work 49er!

That is awesome, perhaps there will be some answers out of it. I wonder if the library could ask on our behalf what is happening to Ugobe

Should be a great talk anyway though, pfft teenagers, you are only as old as you feel on the inside!

justbede · « **Reply #23 on:** March 13, 2009, 08:36:27 AM »

Heh i'am well, just.

Let me see. That would put me with Pleo's great, great uncle on the Triassic side.
