Return-Path: From: pgs@ai.mit.edu (Patrick Sobalvarro) Date: Thu, 4 Feb 93 15:37:05 EST To: all-ai Subject: GSB 5:30pm Friday, February 5th Wouldn't you like to get to know other people at the AI Lab better? Wouldn't you prefer to get to know them in some relaxed atmosphere, as opposed to when they tear your presentation to shreds as you are giving a practice talk for your oral exam, thus destroying your confidence so that, when you are actually confronted with your orals committee, all you can do is stammer and bumble about with your whiteboard markers, getting large red, green, and blue stains on your sweaty hands while the tune from the TV game show "Jeopardy" plays endlessly in your head? Endlessly? In your head? In fact, wouldn't you like to get to know your fellow AI Lab members in the cozy atmosphere of an exclusive ski chalet in Aspen, Colorado, while lounging about in overstuffed chairs drinking hot toddies and spiced cider before a roaring fire as a spectacular snowstorm rages outside? All for absolutely free, including round-trip airfare? That would surely be nice, wouldn't it? Yes, it surely would be. However, this isn't the Media Lab. So all we can offer you is our weekly G I R L S C O U T B E N E F I T tomorrow afternoon in the seventh floor playroom. Arrive around 5:30 (or maybe even at 5:00, if you like), drink beer, hang out with other lab members, and talk. Root beer is usually available for teetotalers.
