But the 21st is Mardi Gras!! ;) I would not be attending on the 14th; my wife and I will be happily ensconced on our couch, eating our favorite take-out and watching a movie. I should be able to make the 21st if there there are enough others going to re-schedule (and if Bill is able and willing to put in the effort and MIT allows). Otherwise I'm OK waiting until April.
