hi everyone,

i thought i'd pass this along in case anyone hasn't received 
announcement about this event on another mailing list and would be 
interested.

Just an FYI, in case anyone is going to go and doesn't know. You need
$4 cash for the parking daily passes, and the parking lot your
probably want to try for is the Emeritus Lot, since that is right next
to Newman. The permit machines are the bright yellow things in all of
the lots. The Parking structure is a small walk. Parking should not be
to hard to find at that time.

It should be good.
