[Grad-postdoc-assn] Thompson lecture next week

[Karen Shell]

Hi all,

Don't forget the Thompson Lecture next week (Tuesday and Thursday).
We're starting with breakfast at 9:45 on Tuesday in the Damon Room
(Mesa Lab).  The complete schedule is below.  All postdocs and grad
students (not just ASP) are invited to all the events (well, it might
be a little rude to show up to someone else's individual meeting).

The dinner on Tuesday will be at my townhouse.  ASP will provide food
and non-alcoholic drinks.  If you want something alcoholic, please
bring your own.  We'll be starting around 6 pm.

My address is 82 Benthaven Pl.  To get there from the Mesa Lab, head
down the hill on Table Mesa.  Turn right onto Lehigh.  Turn right at
the fourth street on the right (Benthaven).  Drive down Benthaven
until you get to the circle at the end.  There's visitor parking off
of the circle.  You can also park along Benthaven if the visitor
parking is full.  From the circle, walk down the driveway (heading
north).  82 will be on your right.  I will leave the gate open.

>From Foothills/CG.  Take Foothills heading south.  Exit at Table
Mesa and turn right.  Head west on Table Mesa, and turn left onto
Lehigh (it's past Baseline; the street on the right side is called
something else, Table Mesa Way or Pl or something, so you have to read
the signs on the left).  Turn right at the fourth street on Lehigh
(Benthaven).  See above directions.

If you get lost, call me 303-497-3279.

See you next week,
-Karen
