science student round the world in 227 days

My friend Chan -- we met at CERN last summer (have you seen the CampCernManifesto?) -- is currently on a 227 day round-the-world trip, powered by study-abroad and summer-research positions. Currently he's at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel. Check out Chan's website -- the pictures are absolutely fabulous.

On Friday I joined Kate (forvrkate, which I have to admit, I pronounce "forvericate") and a host of other fine people at Shout!House in the Gas Lamp District for Kate's graduation party. It was great fun -- it's a "duelling piano bar" which is quite hilarious, and her friends seemed to be super nice people too. The Gas Lamp District was crazy with people! Is it always like that? If so.. great!
