[Imc-chicago-audio] Is anyone planning to record the audio ofthe March 18th rally downtown?

[David W. Kennedy]

Thanks for the reply.  This sounds like a great opportunity to learn 
about recording equipment and how to use it.  I would also like to 
attend the audio meetings, but I don't know when or where they're held. 
  I have seen that the video meetings occur on Mondays, 7 pm, at Groot's 
place.
