soapbox

Okay, so obviously I have internet since I was able to post Tuesday’s recap. However, the best part of Tuesday went un-posted: walking back to the dorms from the conference center, Andy and I saw big lightstands that immediately registered in my brain as “baseball stadium”. Sure enough, as we got closer, we heard music and crowd noise, so we detoured that way, and ended up getting to watch (for free, since it was already in the 5th inning) the rest of the UT-Belmont University game. Nice relaxing finish to a hectic day, except that it was pretty chilly towards the end.

I don’t even have the energy to post all of Wednesday’s report, but some quick thoughts:
(1) Andy says my presentation went well, but honestly I don’t remember that much – just a big blur of meeting people and saying things and hoping it made sense.
(2) I almost got to talk with Eric Cornell, but I blew it and he wandered off in the other direction.
(3) the Downtown Grill and Brewery has a great gimmick going on, where you can for $29.99 buy into the “mug club” – you get your own mug that they keep at the bar, and whenver you come in they give you your mug, and of course with a nice discount. Great loyalty program, seems like something an H-town bar could try.

Thursday:
Tim, I met Daniel Dries, he says hi. Seems like a cool guy, we chatted for a bit about the difficulties inherent to building BEC apparatus from the ground up.
