New York THEORY DAY 2009

Dear Organizers of IBM Research|NYU|Columbia Theory Day,

You emailed me the ad for Spring 2009 Theory Day. THANKS!
You did this about a week ago. Hence, as is often the
case this is too much short notice to go.
Please announce it earlier in the future.

Also, I could not find on your website a pointer to the
abstracts of this years talks (If I missed it then please
let me know.  Other readers, also let me know.)

And lastly, your page on Recent and Upcoming Theory Days
should be retitled
Theory Days from 2003-2007 or be updated.

P.S. The talks look AWESOME!
