"later" at Amity Hall, 80 West 3rd street (map: http://bit.ly/dsxV5M), a
5-minute walk from the Kimmel Center. Light snacks will be provided and
the first 50 people will receive a free drink. After that it's a cash
bar featuring $4 beers and $5 cocktails. Guests will be able to check in

Wednesday morning). We hope to see you all there!
