Slideshow at the Aquarium Tonight

Just spotted this item by blogging.la's Cybele. Click on the link for the full details, but the gist goes thusly - Joe McKinzie, local postcard collector and author will be giving a presentation of images from his collection at the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium at 7:30. Apparently there's a causal meet and greet dinner at Baja Cabana at 6 PM before the presentation, as well.
