bittersweet news!
The good news is ORQ has an invitation! Thanks to Carolina (for putting us in touch). The bad news is that it is "The End of The End of The End" of the Flux Factory. They are (sob) losing their building. 
Never ones to let the thought of imminent demise stop them, this weekend Flux's livingroom project is happening in various spaces throughout the city, in conjunction with Open House. Sunday I hope to go to some, especially Emily Clark's Teacher’s Lounge at P35M–Manhattan High School
(317 W. 52nd Street between 9th and 10th Aves, Hell’s Kitchen, Oct. 4 -5, 12 - 6PM).
"In the mind of every kid in school is a secret place sparking rumors and gossip. Clark has turned the abandoned teacher’s lounge at P35M into a functioning one, playing on the tropes of its assumed uses: relaxation, anger, frustration, gossip, lunchtime, union meetings, refrigerators, and (at one time) smoking."
Flux must vacate by October 31st. Artists get extra karmic points and preferential treatment for pitching in to leave the space "broom clean", a little-used phrase (seen only in commercial NYC leases?)
Anyway, it seems like at the end of the end of the end, an Oracle might come in handy.
