They shoveled that labyrinth and good.
I’ve been told (albeit second hand) that the “The Spaces Between Buildings” event is sold out. Thankfully, I already have my ticket.
I received a press release about the lecture this morning, so presumably spaces are still available. I’ve emailed for clarification.
