GBAC in Vegas

So the GBAC is quickly approaching, and I need to get a head count of who is going to be crashing at my place. Sally also wants some kinda of idea of when people will be getting here and when you will be going home. As I've said before, anyone who wants to is invited, just bring your own pillows and towels. And ear plugs....my kids are up every morning around 6:30, 7:00 at the latest. Enjoy!

Well done ASASES!

To all involved with the ASAS conference, thank you. I think it was a great success and that all papers presented have potential to be published. I was a little scared at the start of the session when there were only three people there (sorry Mike), but we made it through.

Thanks to all those who contributed to the session, I hope it pads the CV nicely.

Special mention to Mike Searcy for driving 16 hours to Tucson and Mr. Yoder for starting his day off at 3:30 am and ending it (hopefully alive) in Vegas much later that evening. Also, props to Beau Schreiver for enduring his first Clarktastic Crucifixion.

It was good to see you guys.

OPA Reunion Project

I was thinking over the weekend that fieldwork with Uncle OPA was actually pretty fun, even when it sucked. What do people think of getting together every couple of years or something for an OPA Reunion project? Everybody could show up in Provo for a few days or maybe a week to volunteer on a dig or maybe analyze some artifacts or whatever Uncle OPA needs at the time. We could even lower the cost of some more research type projects this way. It seems to me that we could get a pretty good test of Wolf Village done in a week with enough OPA alumni in the house. Of course, Uncle OPA would have to come up with some dough for the analysis or whatever, but it could be cool.
