Yes, there seems to have been a last-minute change. The on-line campus
calendar listing last night said Noyes (the cut and pasted info from my
e-mail below is the proof), but this morning that same link said Illini
Union Ballroom. Whatever. It's intriguing to me that such an important
event with such notable speakers:

1. just popped up onto our collective radar 3 days beforehand
2. had its location switched just two days beforehand
3. may have even had its date changed from Wednesday to Thursday (as
suggested by Al's sighting)

What is up with all that, I wonder?

I assume that the e-mail that went out with this location is correct (not
Noyes):

7-10pm at the Illini Union Ballroom (second floor, north side)
