I just wanted to let everyone know there will be nine Objectivist lectures going on at various campuses across the country next week. You can visit www.aynrand.org for maps, contact information, location, time, etc. Eight of the nine are free, all are open to the public, and all the talks look interesting.

Thanks, Mimpy. I can only make plan C if it's on Monday, so I would like to go with that if it's okay with everyone. Besides, dinner will give us more time to converse, and I think we can all agree that dinner is a more enjoyable dining experience. So, Monday, I'll be available to meet as early as 5:30-6:00, I think. Actually, I can leave my hotel at the Marriot on Market as early as 5:30-6:00pm. I'll cede to someone else regarding the exact meeting time and location.

I'm sold on the gelato, Stella! I've actually never had any gelato before, but Capogiro's has received rave reviews from seemingly everyone online, so I think I'll give 'em a try Mimpy, are you available for lunch or dinner anytime on Saturday, the 26th? I'll be wandering around Philly sightseeing that day, so I should be free anytime. Otherwise, dinner any time after 6:00 on Sunday or Monday would work out well for me. I hope that's coincides with your availability. Kendal, blueberry, Stella, Hans: are you interested in meeting up, too? I enjoy meeting local Objectivists when I travel, so I hope you can make it. Of course, I have no idea where on earth people in Philly enjoy their meals, so I'm open to meeting up anywhere within close proximity to the Marriot on Market St. where I'll be staying downtown. If anyone is particularly interested in making a run to the museum or any other popular sights (I haven't set my sightseeing itinerary yet), company would be nice to have there, too! I'll be checking this thread frequently in an effort to expedite correspondence since there's the 26th is coming up fast. With that in mind, Merry Christmas! Oh, and I have a hot tip: rent (or buy, really) the movie Gattaca--it's phenomenal.

I live in Irvine CA, but I'm coming out to Philadelphia for work from Dec 26-30. I'll be staying at the Marriot on Market St. Does anyone have any pointers regarding local sites worth seeing (and avoiding)? I'm particularly interested in knowing whether the museum is worth my time and $. I would also be interested in going out to lunch or dinner on the 26th, or perhaps dinner on 27 or 28 with some people. Is anyone interested? I can also let everyone know that the contact information for the Philadelphia community group of Objectivists located at www.aynrand.org/participate_arc_community_groups has been updated.
