Pilobolus outdoor Umbrella Project is coming to town. On Friday night, Oct. 19, from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m., Pilobolus will enlist several hundred volunteers to participate in a large-scale, live performance using umbrellas fabricated with multi-colored LED lights created by the MIT Distributed Robotics Laboratory. The performance will be simultaneously projected onto a large screen. Volunteers are welcome on the spot!

If you are not attending the conference in Camden, don't fret! Once again this year, we are streaming the PopTech conference live online! And thanks to our friends at Livestream and Serve, we're able to do so free of charge. Check the conference schedule, mark your calendar, and don't forget to tune in to watch PopTech 2012 live.
