Thank you for posting this, Thomas. For those who might be interested in attending, feel free to contact me if you would like help finding lodging. There is an internationally famous rock and gem show that weekend, and so rooms will be hard to come by. In fact, that might give some of you added incentive to attend. The entire city will be filled with artists selling their works, and there will be lots of good music as well. Could be a good reason to bring along a non-philosophical significant other.
