Notes

As you can see from the schedule above, this was a pretty short event. I knew that ahead of time, and normally would have skipped it, but I had a few errands to do that sort of got me headed towards Stanford, so I figured, eh, why not make it work!

Got to campus quite early – just after 4 PM – and decided to kill time by walking around. Made a huge walking loop, and amused myself by noting how vastly different things are compared to my time there in the early to mid '80's. Basically, there seem to be 2-3x as many buildings as there used to be, with plenty of deletions of old buildings. Made for a very interesting experience, as I alternated between the familiar and the new.

Chris' talk about the season was interesting – lots of tempting stuff on the schedule! – but getting stuck in traffic on the drive home put a huge damper on my overall interest-level. It's no fun to spend more than two hours in thick traffic for a show that lasts hardly more than an hour total. Gotta weigh that factor against the one-off excitement of the program offerings…
