mvnyc Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 I was hoping to make this lecture, but I'll be in Orlando on business for the rest of the week. Is anyone else going? I emailed Maria and asked if she could have someone record this with an iPhone or camera, well see what happens... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mvnyc Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 For anyone that does go, I would park a couple of blocks away and walk. This event is right on Ocean at dinnertime, making it a parking nightmare... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
