Just received the note below from the NY Tech Meetup organizer. Looks like there is a power outage at the IAC headquarters in NYC. I've tested a variety of the IAC Web services and all seem to be running fine - I wouldn't expect any hosting at the IAC hq anyway. I guess all of those $10 payments weren't enough to keep the lights on.

Dear NY Tech Meetuppers,

Very sorry to have to relay this news but tonight's NY Tech Meetup is CANCELED due to an emergency power outage at IAC.Everyone will automatically get a refund today or tomorrow.We tried to find a replacement venue for tonight, but couldn't find anything for all 400 of us at this late notice. Again, our August Meetup is CANCELED. Please spread the word to anyone you know who's planning on coming.The next NY Tech Meetup will be September 2nd.

Stay tuned for details.
