The Frayed Wire reception is at the 911 Media arts center so folks can see the "Strange Things" art show, including short talks from the artists from 8p-9pish. Whether or not you are going to the full day event, feel free to drop in on the reception and see the short "Strange Things" artists talks! We only ask if you want to see the talks at the reception please give "ticketed" Frayed Wire folks a chance to sit first, and then grab a seat if there's one available right before we start at 8. Otherwise, you can mill around, see the art, have a beer, etc. I think there'll be some seating available, depending on what % of Frayed Wire folks make it to the reception. It's a long day so I am sure some will skip out early... See you Saturday! Shelly -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
