Technically, You Would Only Need One

Some folks at MIT are holding a time-traveler convention. The idea is to make it so famous and so widely-known that even thousands of years in the future, people will still know exactly when and where this time-traveler convention went down, and will all come travel to it at some point in their illustrious time-traveling careers.
Yeah, like they’d all want to come to the party in the 21st century. There won’t even be any frigging butter pie!

There will be butter pie, “We request that you bring refreshments if possible, as we need to make this a great party for you and for the time travelers.”
I know I’m going, it’s a once in a lifetime event… or is it?

So, how was it? Did any time travelers show up?

Actually, word of the “convention” made it onto Saturday Night Live’s news skit last night.
