I just received this, and I want to pass on the good news to those who are into it. The notice for this has gone out kind of late, so Jon Olivan authorized me to invite all that would be interested in historic preservation. It is FREE, just state that you are invited through/from the LA Conservancy or LA Modcom so they are assured that it's not someone that just walked in from the street:

The Los Angeles Conservancy Modern Committee (www.modcom.org) welcomes you to join us at this exciting event downtown on Saturday morning. Thanks to Jon Olivan for inviting us.
