    Hi, at your last event ( Charlie Kelly book launch with Joe Breeze & the photographer) Joe said he could do a talk for the Marin History Museum in June. We do have a venue we use in San Rafael but he suggested do it at the Bike Museum. I love his idea but not sure we can afford the fees I see on your site. Can we meet to talk about what would be involved ?
