The 5th annual Skitrip - January 2003 ... Holiday Valley as always. It was cosy in the double-wide and fortunately Chris and Vern did not kill each other over playing cards ...
Holiday Valley had no idea what was about to hit them ...
Jules, Sarah, Angie, Moira, Sebastian and lobsterman drove down to "The Big Easy". There is not enough space to tell the stories, there are bead necklaces around and apparently they were earned ... We stopped at Graceland in TN on the way down and Mammoth Caves in KY on the way back.
The East-Coast Nerve Net Meeting Roadtrip - April 7-9, 2000
Thursday midnight Sarah, Jules, Xia, Mooi, Sebastian and Robert took a van for the long ride to Woods Hole, MA, to attend the 26th annual East Coast Nerve Net Meeting at the Marine Biological Laboratory. Ali and Amy went separately as they stayed a few extra days in bean town. The meeting involved aggravation of Sarah's shoulder due to radical dancing moves with Ed at the Poster Party. The margaruitas claimed Jules who locked out his room mate at 3am, Alisdair was close to punching the dude for trying to wake Jules with loud banging on the room door, and a good time was had by all. The long trip back saw us brave the elements in a freak snowstorm that fazed everybody except Captain Jules.
On April 1st, Angie took Lisa, Adam, Sarah, Jules, Xia and Robert to her alma mater of Ohio Northern University in Ada where the Ohio Academy of Sciences held its 109th annual meeting. We were present with 5 much lauded posters that took up a most of the real estate there :-)
Even better than the first ...
What a blast. Jules organised a trip of the lab to Holiday Valley in upstate New York and a great time was had all around. Just for our enjoyment he had payed off the Weather gods for sunshine, he bribed the snow gods for lots of white stuff and the rest was under our own control. Jules, Angie, Mooi and Sebastian arrived from BG, Rick and Sophie met us there from Boston. Sophie and Angie sliced the slopes into little trembling slivers, Jules and I walled somewhat less than "in style", Rick cruised effortless and Mooi showed off her pretty moves. We hope to have started a tradition for many years to come.
