Skype shot down, no one supprised.

Well, it was worth a try.
The skype idea has been vetoed which isn't really unexpected. I'm a bit saddened that there's such a paranoia about the use of social media to connect people when it's such an incredibly useful tool, but that's a whole different post. I guess i can't blame them for erring on the side of caution, but it feels a bit ungracious not to be trusted to do a live broadcast.

That being said:
John Holden has arranged for there to be a conference-call option for anyone (up to 20 people) that wants to participate. If you would like in on this, please send me an email at some point between now and 7:30 am (when i'll be waking up, gathering notes, and making tea) and i'll send you back the procedure for becoming a part of it. It's super easy (just have to call a call a certain number) so let me know!

If you want to go in person, it will be in the kiplinger house (that smaller white building) in the dining room at 8. If you can, please try to make it either in person or via the call. Best to know all the info about the decision we're protesting, yes?

Katie has offered to take notes and i'll probably post something as well, so stay tuned in.
