That 160 N 3rd Street address is for the Unitarian Sanctuary. Downtown San Jose — near light rail. Across the street from St. James Park. Parking garage 1/2 block south of church, off 3rd Street (one way heading north) between Santa Clara and St. John streets, on the left side of 3rd Street.

Peace Hebard,
If you look at the bottom on the window, you’ll see a scroll bar. Please let me know if you find it.

Got it.

Still not working on Google Chrome. Can you put it some place we can download or on a less busy page?

Is there a way to print out a full schedule? The way the above schedule is designed is not very useful.
Thank you.

Can we have confirmation if all the orange-filled events that have notes about “duplicates” are actually happening?

I find that if I open the frame in a different tab I can see more of the schedule, but neither Firefox nor Safari will print more than one page of it (what ever I happen to have displayed). Can you produce a PDF in landscape mode that can be printed on standard letter paper?

What is up with Rising Tide’s Regional whatever-it-is? It was a 4-hour PMA on Saturday, but now it’s a 14-hour workshop on Friday? I think there’s a typo.

It would be helpful to have the program available as pdf download.
Maybe include version number since it’s still changing.
thanks
