More details about the New York foray

We just added one more public presentation in NYC. On the evening of November 20 we’ll be at Bluestockings, in the Lower East Side.
Speaking of the LES, most likely the November 23 Dixon Place event won’t be at Dixon Place (even if we’re still on the bill), but at another venue. We’ll inform you when we know. The calendar is here.
