C



venue (n.)



was formerly used only in legal senses, such as



"the place where a crime was committed or where a legal action begins,"

"the place where a jury is formed and a trial held."



Today the word has generalized to mean "the place where an event or action of any kind takes place," as in



the several venues for the [events] of these [Olympic games].



All these senses are now Standard.













"We’re pretty sure the best parties during the festival will be down here starting in 2010," said Noah Cowan, a longtime fest programmer who is now artistic director of the Bell Lightbox. "When we first decided to do this about seven or eight years ago,



we had some [nervousness] about



the hotel stock in parts of the city. But now with Ritz-Carlton coming in (with a 53-story downtown tower) and other boutique hotels and renovations to several others, we have the confidence that we will be ready."On a hardhat tour of the Lightbox for journalists during the fest, Cowan showed off its features. There will be more than 100 "screening opportunities,"



from small plasma [panels] to sides of the building,



which can show films outward toward the street. Gallery spaces can tie in to film series,



and each venue is [connected] to [the others] via a host of technologies.
