To the attendees:  if you wish a copy of the 3rd and final rounds of the 2013 US Open at Merion, bring along a portable drive with at least 120 GB of space on it.  I have HD versions of those days and can give you copies.  It's pretty nifty.

[Joe Bausch]

Some have inquired about the golf opp at St. Davids on Sunday:  it will be at 10 am.  Walking and carrying is allowed and will be 60 bucks.  Cartballing it an extra 25, or a caddy an extra 60.

[Joe Bausch]

My bride is taking Friday off to prepare some good food for Saturday.  The London Broils are marinating now and will serve to make the roast beef sliders.

Here is the tentative menu:

roast beef sandwiches (sliders, make your own)
grilled chicken sandwiches (sliders)
Asian style coleslaw
Roasted peppers
Caramelized onions
Bruschetta or focaccia with assorted spreads (flavored hummus)
Cheese straws
Brownies or cake-maybe both
Cookies

And the cost will be very small.  Probably not even 10 bucks.  And everything is homemade.

Diane is a saint!!

[MCirba]

I'm getting hungry already and to keep this post relevant to architecture, I'd say the menu looks varied but balanced, with enough challenge to keep everyone on their toes.   I'm sure some will only stay for nine, but those who go back for the full eighteen (double courses) will have their hands (and bellies) full! 

[John Shimony]

I'll be the fella in the food coma at the back of the class dreaming of bunkers and sandwiches and whatnot.

The lecture hall is fairly small and has good acoustics so you'll be fine, Jim!

[Michael Blake]

Joe,

Recommend places to park?  Is that lot on 320 behind Mendel available, without the risk of being ticketed for no VU parking sticker?

That's the lot.  Accessible right off of 320.  Gate is in open position all the time now.  I'll post a map later.

[Robert Emmons]

Have a great time, wish I could make it to hear Mark's poetic talk on Dev...RHE

I'm very much interested in Mark's presentation, and he is leading off the afternoon!

Note:  updated attendee list above.

Joe -

Coming in off of Rt. 30, what is the easiest way to find Mendel Hall and the parking area? 

Thanks

[MCirba]

I'm really looking forward to tomorrow.   Great Speaker and Guest list and only find myself wishing some others were able to attend.   They know who they are.

Joe -

Thanks

Coming from the westerly direction on Lancaster Ave (Rt 30), make a left on Rt 320 (also called Spring Mill Road).  Then you are really close.  Head up 320 and just past the crest of the hill is a main entrance to the inner campus, which is the entrance you DO NOT WANT!  You want the next entrance, which is maybe 500 yards farther down the hill on the right, not too far past the Hilldale road on the left. 

This entrance has some gates, which are set permanently open.  Park right in that lot, and find Mendel room 213 in that big building right next to the lot.  Below is a map of that part of campus.

 

[Chris Mavros]

This sounds like it's going to be a great time, with the presentation and food line ups looking really good.  I'm looking forward to it and will see everyone tomorrow.

This event is going to kick arse.

I was expecting ... Ahhh, nevermind.

Roads are clear already, I'm anxious to fire up the festivities tomorrow!

[MCirba]

Ok folks...even if you aren't on the guest list...get your arse to Villanova.  There's snow on the ground...what else you gonna do?

[Joe Bausch]

What a day.  Almost 50 people in attendance.

I need some rest.  Grin.

Perhaps my friend Mike Cirba will summarize the five presentations, which were each enjoyable and very different.

[Jon Cavalier]

Really great event Joe. Thanks for setting it up.

[Dan Herrmann]

It was fantastic.  Thank you!
