I'm happy to confirm that\nGoogle is indeed able to host a \"watch party\" at one of our offices in\nSunnyvale (specifics TBD). As Taylor emphasized, we're only able to\ninvite people who already meet the criteria he named and have signed\nup on the main sheet. If you are one of those people and haven't\nalready gotten in touch with me, please do so, it would be fun to\nspend some in person time :)\n\nFor those who did already get in touch with me, I'll send details\nwithout the rest of the list shortly.\n\nThanks!\n - Emily\n"}]}
