Yes, please come to Santa Fe this year for SWARMFest! It should be a  
nice informal and intimate conference where a lot of ideas will be  
hatched.

Marcus has helped bring the conference to SFComplex, whose annex is  
the former home of Chris Langton's and Glen Ropella's SWARM Corp on  
Agua Fria.

The summer is nice and the SFI Complex Systems Summer School will be  
just wrapping up. Come meet some fellow FRIAMers :-)
