I'm arranging for the lecture hall, that should be fine.  As for
hotel, he's got my couch, which is admittedly short shorter than
he is. :-D

Basically he's arriving on 7th around 4PM to downtown, we
probably chat and have a walk in downtown, then lecture, then
head out with interested parties for dinner, and he leaves the
day after.

I was thinking about PR, would be awesome if you could help
please.  Since I'll be in Montreal the entire next week myself.
I will send the announcement when the time/location are
finalized, and please go ahead and contact any of these.

As for fliers, I will ask a friend to take care of UofT, and
possibly the College & Spadina area, but not Seneca, etc.

Nothing, that's all I was expecting.
