Bad news, Rockefeller isn't interested in funding the Pd conference
now, but I think they might still be open to funding other things.
But have other good news about Pd conf funding, but I don't think I
should be the one to announce it...
In other good news, City Tech, another technical university which is
literally next door to Polytechnic, might also contribute resources
to Pd~conf. They have a high-tech theatre which is being offered,
most likely for free. They have a big entertainment technology dept.
and they work with Broadway shows a lot, so that theatre is their
laboratory.
