OK….. THE ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY CORRECT DATE FOR THE NEXT EXPERIMENTAL FRIDAY IS FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 26th. This is what happens when you have too many things going on at once and you try to do them all at the same time. Very, very sorry for any confusion this has caused. FRIDAY, FEB 26th AT 7PM IS THE CORRECT DATE AND TIME! Sheesh....

CORRECTION! The next Experimental Fridays will be on FEBRUARY 19th, NOT February 22nd! Sorry for error - we got our months mixed up.
