Re:

what about the week of march 31 , for the instituc week of horrors

How about he 21st-25th of April- since the media lab has it annual "open house" the 23rd and 24th, with lots on display and visitors, so that would fit in if we wanted to come/go, and Joi is hosting...(and Linda in town too). We might be able to see about inviting other creatives too, perhaps for side meetings. Does it work?

this time in april also works

21 -25 april it is

perfect

Done! April 21-25 it is. Martin, could you ask your staff look into the possibility of reserving a room over at the faculty club for the nights of the 21st-25? (otherwise I will be at the Charles).

Was thinking this morning- as a sige break it might it be inspiring to set up a couple of hours to go over to the MCZ and look at specimens behind the scenes to reflect on the range of evolutionary solutions to survival problems - some of those are beyond imagination. If either or both of you are interested... if I do this I will need to figure out who to contact (Wilson and Mayr are gone). David Haig or Naomi Pierce might have ideas. Also it would be good to see what Marc Kirshner and a bunch of others working on.
