FYI, I'm attending as an invited guest, and they have told me that it is closed and I can't

bring another guest to the symposium (I'm guessing that there is probably more to the story than they are telling me, but figured that I would just take a hint - who knows what is going on, and I'm too busy to figure it out). However, they were very gracious about it, and said that if you are in town to please join the evening program as a special guest with the entire group (Saturday, 7: 00 p.m until late) for cocktails, dinner, and discussions of new ideas. Up to you if it is worth your while, but it will probably be the place to have the most lively discussion anyway and I very much hope that you will be able to come. The venue is:

House of Tricks

114 East 7th Street
