Alas, as I live in flyover country I don’t get to go to a lot of the big events the cool kids get to go to in places like NYC, LA, DC, etc. But I was sorely tempted by an invitation to The Atlantic’s 150th Anniversary Celebration. But I decided not to leave my wife at home alone with a six week old and a two year old. But if you are closer I would consider checking it out. Here are the details:
