LOOOOOOL!! And us regular folks?

I’m with Donna – the public should be invited to the launch of this show. They could have held it as an open public event on the first evening of Winterlude. Is a demonstration “plugging-in” really a news-worthy event these days? How many of us are unfamiliar with how plugging things in works?
Maybe we, the unwashed, should crash the media event and explain how plugging in to your public works for the benefit of the powers-that-be!
Voter:
Who thought this would cause controversy? But it has.

“The launch will feature remarks from representatives of Ottawa Tourism and the NCC”. Does this mean the Nightmare will finally make a public appearance, likely dressed up in his Canadiens jersey and toque?
