That indeed is Michaal Pannwitz, but that isn't quite Canadian tables.<br><br>Here is a picture of the original Canadian tables:<br><br><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/chriscorrigan/107973823/">http://www.flickr.com/photos/chriscorrigan/107973823/
</a><br><br>The tables are stood up on their ends with one set of legs sticking out at the bottom. This photo is from the Open Space Michael Herman, Judi Richardson and I did in Fairbanks, Alaska in 2002. This was Michael's solution when we found that the beautiful round room we were in was completely unable to have anything whatsoever posted to the biggest wall in the place, whioch was a mural.
<br><br>And so Michael started out with these four tables, and pretty soon, as the news came in, the newswall grew. Pretty soon the wall curled around the ends of the room and started to some up the sides and, being a Canadian male, it reminded me of this:
<br><br><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/chillywillyracefan/191205630/">http://www.flickr.com/photos/chillywillyracefan/191205630/</a><br><br>That, my friends, is the Air Canada Centre, the home of the Toronto Maple Leafs hockey club. As soon as I realized that the newswall was beginning to resemble a hockey rink I took out a small puck shaped stone from my pocket and started playing foot hockey with Judi, who was the only other Canadian there. Soon a young Alaskan kid joined us - he played on the Alaska Arctic Winter Games team - and we had a pretty good game of shinny going.
<br><br>In honour of the fact that this table set up seemed to inspire a hockey game, Michael shrugged and simply named it "Canadian Tables."<br><br>Cheers,<br><br>Chris<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 10/20/06,
