    Do you have the details for the Davis event? I’m not seeing them.

    smhll @ #1: That was a copy-and-paste error on my part, made while copying info from a previous announcement. The Davis event is past, it happened earlier this week. I hope to go back soon, though! I like Davis, and wish I’d had more time to spend there.
