So I'm applying to the University of Pennsylvania's PhD program in psychology, and I've been invited to visit the campus on January 31. This venerable institution already has no fewer than two PMSian students, DIM and AMan. I'd like to meet them both while I'm in Philadelphia. And I figure, hey, since three PMSians will all be in the same place, why not welcome the rest of the bunch? I wouldn't be surprised if none of you were willing and able to make it at such short notice to a city that isn't New York, but I figured I might as well throw it out there.

Have the desire but not the means.
I can't go because of distance, but I demand a birthday shoutout on February 1 if you're all actually together.
And since I can, a song:
No matter where you go
I won't be very far
'Cause in my head I'll be right there where you are
'Cause love has no distance baby, no
Love has no distance baby, no
Not when it comes to you and me

Kind of unrelated, but Kodi, are you getting an official tour of Penn? If not, we'd be happy to show you around.

Why do you all live on the east coast?? Don't you realize how inconvenient that is to us in the midwest and west coast? :C
MOVE TO ILLINOIS AT LEAST

Holy **** we're in the Matrix? - Willis
I'd personally love a meeting in Illinois, as it would mean my traveling would be kept to a minimum. And I wish I could make it, but coincidentally, I'm actually tentatively scheduled to meet an ACSBer during that time period.

Everything I have would be enough for someone else, but I want more.
Days Left: 314
I'd be there too if UPenn didn't deny me ;_;

I'm to arrive at the airport at 1:00 on Sunday, January 30 and depart at 2:00 on Tuesday, February 1. My schedule is pretty much packed on the intervening day. I'd rather meet during the day (say, Tuesday morning) rather than late at night, but I suppose that would conflict with Utar's work and perhaps DIM's and AMan's classes.

Unfortunately anytime during the day is impossible for me; on Mondays I'm out from 8 to 8 and on Tuesdays I'm usually not home till about 6:30 or so.

Maybe Sunday evening would be best, then.

Tuesday morning might work. I don't have class until 12. Actually, Kodi, do you think you would find it worthwile to sit in on my Theory of Computation class that day (even though you don't plan to study CS here)?

Seth: What are you making?

I've game for Sunday evening.
Wil should come. Why hasn't he even posted in this topic?

I doubt it would do me very much good, since I'll be doing more research than classwork. On the other hand, I guess I won't have much else I need to do that morning.
It would be nice for us all to meet together at least once, so let's try for Sunday evening. At 6:00, I'll attend a dinner. Shall we plan for 8:00? Where's a good place to meet on campus?

Ugh my first day of real people work is Monday (barring catastrophe). I had been planning to last minute plan a trip down, but then I got the goodish news.

Willis, it seems like every other time you post, I need to look up a word that's in the OED or Urban Dictionary but not both.

I repeat my question, since Sunday is just three days away.

"Now I will have less distraction." —Euler, upon going blind in one eye
Campus isn't too massively rich with generic meeting places, particularly not on Sunday night.... We could try Capogiro. That's at 3925 Walnut Street - if you go to 40th and Walnut, then go a bit east from that intersection, it'll be on the north side of the street.
---
The line, it is drawn; the curse, it is cast.
An ice-cream parlor trumps a bar any day, and this place is within walking distance of my hotel, so it'll do for me.

I will, DIM says he will, and I hope you will. AMan, you'll be there too, right? So I think it'll be just the four of us.
---

I'll be in philly tomorrow, but will be too busy to meet up with you. Have fun.

Eight-o'-clock. There's a chance I'll be late, since I don't know too much about what's planned for me on Sunday evening, but likely not. If anybody wants to email his cellphone number to my first name at arfer.net, I can call him in case of a delay. (And I can call him in case I'm there but don't recognize anybody.)

"Now I will have less distraction." —Euler, upon going blind in one eye
Capogiro is a gelateria/bar. (You won't find ice cream there, and that's a good thing.) I will most definitely be meeting you guys there, and excitedly so. (Shouldn't be too hard to find you guys since the name literally means "head turning.")
As for what to do after that, anything is fair game. My house is just a few blocks away so we could stop there, maybe get in a game of Catan, or possibly head downtown to extend Kodi's tour. We'll play it by ear.

Pff, same difference.
You guys should know, or rather, I should remind you, that I generally go to bed at nine. I'm certainly willing to stay up late in this case, but please forgive me if I'm obliged to return to my room well before midnight.

Hold on, no one said anything about Catan.

I just returned to my hotel. I don't have the time or energy to report much yet. For now, suffice it to say that it was extremely rad.
