Newcomers, veterans, etc. - Not to be outdone by the gentleman from Penn State, Hillel Arnold and I have made reservations for Sitka & Spruce <http://www.sitkaandspruce.com/> for 6 at 8:15 PM. It's also 0.8 miles from the conference hotel. Sitka & Spruce is consistently lauded for its simple, highly-local and highly-seasonal cuisine. Four slots are left, and we'd love for you to join us. Before dinner we can kill time at Bar Ferd'nand <http://ferdinandthebar.com> which is both a wine shop and a bar with snacks and fancy non-alcoholic things. -mm On Sun, Jan 29, 2012 at 4:34 PM, Michael J.
