Yes, that's right, disTHIS'ers your humble curator is going to school!
Do me a favor, if you will... we have less than a week to spread the news and the topic deserves a MASSIVE turnout! Please save the date, spread the word and bring a friend!
As always, I plan to leave a lot of room for discussion, so bring your experience of disTHIS! to share with the crowd.
See you there! Best, Lawrence
