Statistical Physics Research Trip

I’m going to Vegas, baby!

A good friend from college is getting married this summer, and there’s a bachelor party for him this weekend at a casino in Las Vegas. It looks to be quite the affair, with thirty-odd guys, and reservations at a bunch of cool spots, because they’re high-rolling financiers.

This is going to be quite the experience, as I’ve been living like a freakin’ monk for the past two months, on account of my stomach problems– no booze, in bed early most nights, highly restricted diet… It’ll be an adventure, seeing whether I can avoid doing major damage to myself. Then again, about the best my heartburn has been since New Year’s was at Boskone, when I drank a bunch of beer at the Tor party, so maybe this is just what I need.

Anyway, thanks to Republican Congressman John Sweeney and our very own student paper, I have an additional goal: don’t end up in this kind of story. Yeesh.

(For the record, I don’t recognize anyone in that picture. I haven’t read the story, either, though I did notice it yesterday when the Concordy came out. Really, the less I know about the party scene on campus, the better.)

  1. 1. don’t mix various types of alcohol
    2. cars and alcohol don’t mix
    3. don’t gamble your house even if you’re sure you’ll win this time

    😉

  2. You cannot be shriven of sins you have not committed. Stuff the mattress and thereafter enjoy a comfy place on which to rest. Faculty are forbidden from engaging in discovered acts of moral turpitude. Remember the Eleventh Commandment and keep it wholly.

    Gamblers bet on statistical fluctuations, Vegas bets on the representative ensemble. Respect thermodynamics’ predictions – it pays for everything you see, and much more.
