I miss all the good stuff. Please tell me these events will be recorded in some way. Are there no former Grateful Dead fans, to surreptitiously record these events, among my brethren DPRK researchers in the DC-area?
Hi, Michael,
The thursday event will be recorded (video) and will be posted at pscore.org after a few weeks of the event.
A canonical recording, then? Thank you, Ana. I look forward to watching it.
