Special edition: "Back in my day..."

[Michael Oltmans <moltmans@>]

Summary for the impatient:
GSB this Friday will have lots of old school GSB'ers so if you only come 
to one GSB all year, come this week, students bring your advisors, 
advisors bring your students, and everybody bring your friends that have 
left the lab or have been here a really long time.

Do not Panic!  Got your towel ready?  Good.  Now, Still Don't Panic!  It 
is not yet Friday...  However when it becomes Friday at 5:30, we will 
have the first ever...

                  "Back in my day... GSB"

We've invited a bunch of folks that used to haunt these and the former 
building's, halls, offices, and GSBs.  Find out what it was like back in 
the bad olde days of the AI Lab and LCS.  Hear horror stories of AI 
Winter.  Hear the tales of the glory days of the AI Olympics and Fall 
BBQs.  Come make up some stories about why AI is succeeding/failing. 
But most importantly, come!  There are guaranteed to be some old faces 
you haven't seen in a while, or maybe people you've heard of and never 
actually met.  If you see such a person tie them down and drag them to 
GSB on Friday. If you are such a person, send me email, tie yourself 
down and I'll come drag you to GSB on Friday (note: the order of these 
instructions is important).
