Free high-speed wireless Internet! Sweet!
Those were my first thoughts when I struggled my suitcase into the swanky ninth-floor room of the Omni Hotel in Philadelphia and read the sheet of paper lying on the desk. I dumped my stuff into a couple of drawers, pulled out my laptop, said hi to my roommate for the next three days, and began typing this post.
I am actually in Philly for another ISI colloquium, this one entitled "Law, Liberty, and the Rise of the West." It has about 240 pages of reading, and I have done maybe 50 of that. So I need to stop now and spend the next three hours working through some more of it. I also am sick with a cold and a headache, however, so I don't know how much I'll do.

Holy cow, how long are you there for? We're flying into Philly Sunday night at 5 p.m.
What are the chances?

lol, wow, carrie! I am here until Sunday, and then I'll be driving back to VA. By 5pm, I will hopefully be back at school. That's an odd coincidence, all right! And Nate Matias, who actually lives in PA most of the time, is overseas! heh
Rats! We were feeling rather hopeful. Yeah, we've connected with Nate and we're ilkely going to meet him later in the week. (He flies back Sunday, too!) So 1 of 2 on Jonathan's end, I 'spose. =) Have a good time and a safe drive back! Sorry to miss you!
