From: John Brockman Sent: Wednesday, November 19, 2014 7:12 PM To: Epstein Jeffrey Subject: plans for December 8th JE, The event is in Palo Alto, Monday December 8th, beginning 10:30-11am at =ither someone's home, a "presidential suite" at a Palo Alto hotel (Four =easons most likely), or a Stanford academic setting, like CASBS =Kosslyn's former place).
