Hey there! I saw your thread about your plans for the Bitcoin Embassy idea.  I have a business I'm developing that will offer some of the same services in Edmonton, AB.  My vision is to be a central Edmonton contact for anybody who wishes to learn about Bitcoin, I have developed a Bitcoin for Beginners workshop and have begun offering it locally, we have ordered an ATM, and plan to set up a store front to do in-person exchanges.  We have also partnered with BitPay, and act as referral agents to set up businesses wishing to accept Bitcoin. 

I am coming out to Montreal next week for the Osheaga festival and would love to sit down and chat about our mutual plans and spread the network. I met with the guys of Bitcoiniacs in Vancouver who operate a store front Bitcoin broker service, and it was a fun meetup, so would love to make new contacts across Canada. 

Let me know if you guys will be available between Aug 1-6. Sounds like you're doing some great work so far, keep it up!

You can reply by PM, but email is preferred as I check it more frequently.

Thanks,
Dave
