The Maggie Bartley information is incorrect. She is actually speaking from 8:50 - 10:50 a.m. Tuesday morning, and to be honest, I don't believe it is open to the public.
Alrighty. I've removed the info for the Maggie Bartley talk. I don't envy you, though. That's how it's listed in the Washington Post.
I know! The Museum is actually listed in the Post (which almost never happens) and for something incorrect! I don't think too many people are going to come knocking down on our door on this one though.
No, probably not. Grisha not exactly a household name. Great life story, though.
