[Lab] Fab Fair in the Fall

[bordier marion]

Hi Ryan,

The goup trip going to NYC is run by Yves Larocque. He teaches at the  
Ottawa School of Art and is the owner of the company ICSCIS, a money- 
profit business. check ICSCIS on Facebook.

  or Artengine/members may want to charter their own bus for Nov 3,  
Wed. to Nov 7, Sunday?
