A student at MIT is hosting the worlds ONLY time travellers' convention this Saturday.

Naturally there only needs to be one, because of course if you like it you can just go back.

They are somewhat afraid of parking issues, because there is only one convention, if people like it, they'll tell their friends, and so on and so on, and things will get hairy fast. This suggests that the more civic-minded time travellers who have attended the convention already many times may have had the courtesy to come back last week and give them an idea of what they'd need, but since none have done so, there is some suggestion that the convention has already flopped.

If you are thinking of showing up and claiming to be a time traveller, the organizers warn they do have some ways to detect fraudulant time travellers, though they are being tight-lipped about it.

In the event that the event is snubbed by the world's time travellers, they also have music and games and some talks by Physicists on time travel.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled database theory.
