Next Swapfest is May 19th, 2013.
April Swapfest is CANCELLED

9:10 AM Saturday 20 April 2013

MIT has directed that we not run the event tomorrow, April 21st, 2013.

Due to the death of one of the MIT Police officers,
the MIT community is in mourning, and the
MIT Police are stretched thin. They are unable to provide the
required support for large events.

We will work on adjustments to advance reservations
and season pass holders in the next few days.

In light of MIT officer Sean Collier's death and the uncertainty on the location of the bombers and other circumstances, I would have cancelled from the start.
