SLAC tour at HHC 2006

[Richard Schwartz]

I would like a tour of the gay trans-gender district of SF, just to see what
they are doing that is so terrible everybody hates and persecutes them.
There is a cool place there, the California Academy of Science, but
generally I avoid SF.   On the other hand, Berkeley would be worth a visit!
We could see the historic location of Mario Savio's filthy speech movement.
We could visit the football stadium where Cal last won a football game (that
was in 1922).   We could visit the Stanford Bookstore!   At the Rosicrucian
museum we could do some levitation, make ourselves invisible, and project
our thoughts into the minds of others to make them do our bidding.  On a
Friday night, we could hit the telescope making workshop at Chabot Science
Center, and maybe grind and polish a little with the good ol' boyz.  Yeah,
there's lots to do in Silicon Valley.  I miss the place.

Doh! And since the quark comprises the bulk of the known universe, which is
5% of the total (matter (5%) + dark matter (25%) + dark energy (70%)) that
means Murray Gell-Mann invented a significant part of the known universe. I
knew he was a god.

How about a Google tour?

I've tacked on some notes sent to me from the SLAC folks. Anyone sending me
their name, please also include an address, which they also need.

I've told them we'll be carpooling there, but we can figure that out closer
to the time.

Cheers,
