Projector Screen

[lilaia.livejournal.com]

A group I belong to needs a projector screen for an evening presentation. Does anyone have suggestions on where we could rent or otherwise source one?

I don't have suggestions, but some venues, such as the Armory, have the screens and projectors there.

What date? What group? 501c3 or not?

I know of a number of groups that have screens, but they are kind of picky about who they lend / rent them to.

Thanks! We're having it in a private home, but we will have other events and I had forgotten that the Armory has space available.

It's tomorrow night, a college alumi group and we are a 501c3. Someone else was supposed to be getting the screen but didn't have much luck, hence the last minute scramble.

Thanks.

Microcenter sells portable ones fairly cheap ($100)
Also white sheets thumb-tacked to the wall work quite well. :)

Sigh, that's really short notice.

I have a screen in Newton but am kind busy tomorrow except for about lunchtime or 5 PM. I'm also going to be out of touch until this evening.

Could you please email this evening at kovalcik (at) alum (dot) mit (dot) edu if you don't find something closer?

I know, I was not happy to learn so late that she's had no luck. I hope we can solve this before then, thank you for the kind offer!

If it were my place we'd totally be using a sheet. I have a feeling the hostess's home is on the fancier side.

Thanks for the tip about Micro Center, we'll check that out!

For a rental, I would try Calumet Photographic on 1st street in Cambridge - just past the Cambridgeside Galleria.

Thank you!

I think I'm too late for you, but I've rented large projector screens at Rule Broadcast on Soldiers Field Road in the past. http://www.rule.com/

Thanks - it could come in handy in the future, and I wasn't aware of them.
