Some late changes: We have A LOT of [Raven’s Eye](https://maniaccoffeeroasting.com/collections/dark-roast-coffee/products/ravens-eye-dark-roast) dark roast coffee from [Maniac Coffee Roasters](https://maniaccoffeeroasting.com) for you! It will be flowing at some of the social events and the conference! This is a DIY situation, as we were unable to secure a vendor. So please drink up, drink often, provide feedback, and donate to share your appreciation. Simmering Tava has cancelled. We are unlikely to get a vendor at this late notice. So enjoy the pizza from Cicchitti’s and other, possibly secret, food celebrations. Our Saturday After Party is extended from 10pm to Midnight. A map of our stroll this afternoon to Boulevard Park! Behold! ![20250425_13h46m54s_grim](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex035/uploads/lfnw/original/1X/3c0d22dd01b396f48dd7ba1f425b68bc87a3ee1d.png) Directions for those that hate maps: - Leaving Stones Throw ~3pm - Heading North down 10th Avenue \> Trail \> Continue on 10th Avenue - Heading Northwest on Taylor Dock - Stopping at Woods Coffee in Boulevard Park - Hanging out and enjoying the Park - Returning on the same path ~4:15pm See y’all soon!
