Anarchy in Philadelphia, Part 3

Now up, in addition, are comments from Chris Morris and Will Thomas, plus an additional comment from me.

(By the way, my own answer to Will’s question, in effect, is on p. 140 of my anthology chapter.)

The Molinari Symposium will be held in Independence Meeting Room II. (The APA program supplement says “Independence Ballroom II” but there is no such animal; the Independence Meeting Rooms are next to the Liberty Ballroom.)

Independence Meeting Room II is hard to find because it’s actually across the street (via skybridge) from the main hotel, in something called the “Deluxe Tower” (or, less glamorously, the “3rd Floor Annex”).

How to find Independence Meeting Room II: from the hotel lobby (1st floor), take the escalator (not the elevator) to the 3rd floor. (It goes directly from 1st to 3rd; I’m not sure there even is a 2nd floor.) Follow the signs that say “Deluxe Tower” or “Bridge to Convention Center.” Cross the skybridge; at the other end you’ll see an arrow pointing left saying “Convention Center” and an arrow pointing right saying “Marriott”; go right.

The APA, ever vigilant against the menace of free riders (and, I suspect, grossly overestimating the inelasticity of demand for APA sessions) isn’t
revealing the location of the session until we pick up our final programs at registration. But I’ll try to post the info as soon as I learn it.


Secession of the Empire

If you’re reading this on my old blog site, go to my new blog site.

THE EMPIRE IS BACK!If you’re reading this on my new blog site, welcome to my new blog site! (And before long, the old site will simply redirect here.)

My blog’s former host, Yahoo, was a disaster; I’d been increasingly plagued by hidden spam ads, RSS failures, and so forth, and Yahoo’s customer service was the absolutely least helpful I’ve ever encountered.

So – brand new server, brand new day. All the old posts, comments, etc. have been moved here. And thanks very much to Brandon Snider for assisting this transition!


Lost in Cyberspace

The Art of the Possible blog has disappeared. Google doesn’t have a cache of it, and the Internet Archive doesn’t either. I don’t have final copies of any of the essays I wrote for it – and they’re some of my favourites. Help! Any suggestions? (I’ve written to the blog host, but I’ve had trouble reaching him in the past.)
