Trying to get some people hyped up for an international neuroscience/psychology congress in my hometown. If we get a group of 30 people together we all get a 30% discount.

I would go by myself but it's so damn expensive. The university only partially covers the costs.  :-\

Looks like it's gonna happen!  :heyhey:

I didn't get 30 people on board with the idea but I saw that airline tickets are really cheap for June (which they usually aren't).

I found a cheap and well-situated studio apartment too!

Excellent!

Ok! I won't be sight-seeing much I'm afraid, I've already bought the plane tickets and will be staying there just long enough for the conference. A bunch of scientists pumping themselves with coffee is basically all I'll be seeing. :lol:

I'm signed up for a Krav Maga class on Monday night. Hopefully I can take the abuse.

Pictures of scientists guzzling coffee are acceptable, as are pics of the well situated apartment.

The instructor said I'd be barefoot or in socks. Not sure they'd let me in barefoot because that left big toe is jacked up. The break isn't that bad but I lost the nail a few weeks ago. Still not sure why that happened.

Eh, it's just a class. I'm sure I'll be sore and embarrassed by the time it's over, but that's life.

It's common to loose a nail on a toe injury. I've done it on a stubbed toe.

Heh, I don't know. I think little raisins contaminate any and everything they touch.

Another one!  A friend of mine calls flies "sky raisins" and still I put raisins in every damn thing.
