Hi Mike D.
Terrific! Sounds like we have a "group!" If the event is at Civic Center Plaza, and we want to participate as a group, maybe we could meet by the big statue of Vishnu (I believe that is what the statue is). That meeting place might be good because we can say "right across the street from the Main Library, where we hold our monthly meetings."
Great you know some of the organizers, and that you are willing to put in a word for our candidates. Starchild and Phil could get in touch with you. BTW, I thought I saw a post indicating Phil was in Baltimore.
