After 6 hours on the road, two detours (we got lost), and having mapquested an inaccurate destination (this is true, I swear), by the grace of our guru we finally made it to Chinatown in New York City, where the empowerment was happening. We were a little late, but as fate would have it, we arrived just at a time when one of the curbs on the street was opening up for parking (a loading zone during the day!), so we actually managed to park quickly! Whew! We found our way to the third floor Dharma Center, and found they had actually saved seats for us!
