Can anyone tell me where tomorrow's press conference is being held? I'm finding myself too tired to search and am hoping someone just knows off the top of their head. I'll try to make it, but have my daughter's swim lessons to get to at 10:45. If I can get there, I'll bring a video camera, and I'll record and post the entire thing, not just 15 second snippets.

Thanks all!

"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
