I'm officially at the Women's Program at the Institute for Advanced Study for the next two weeks, and ought really to be at Columbia talking to physicists about Griffiths-Dwork. If you're in New Jersey or New York and want to meet up, let me know.

The really exciting travel news, though, is that I've been accepted to a young algebraic geometers conference at Sabancı University in the suburbs of Istanbul.

glasseye and I have worked out an elaborate itinerary that involves a journey from Seattle (or Vancouver) to London to Istanbul the week before the conference.

Whoa, cool! (On both counts). Any chance such a trip would involve a stop in Amsterdam? ;)

I did check Amsterdam flights, actually, but it's much more affordable to fly through London right now.

I'm sure that visiting Istanbul is going to be AWESOME.

I think, if I were to come to Princeton any day this week, Monday evening would be the only possibility. Would that be feasible, at all?

Monday would be great, actually, if you're up for it.

Um, yeah. I'll think about train times tomorrow at work... Is it possible for you to get into the town of Princeton? (When I drove to the IAS a few years ago, it seemed outside of the main part of town.)

It's about a half-hour walk: not a problem.

OK. After discovering that the dinky schedule is apparently completely random, I think I will try for a train+dinky combination that should convey me to Princeton around 18.46.

Where shall I meet you? Do you have my cell phone number? (I have yours.)

COOLNESS!

Have fun! Post pictures!

What, no lyrical prose? ;)

Istanbul! Wow! And congratulations, it sounds like a great conference.

Thanks!

Should be an interesting conference, if nothing else because it sounds like Americans will be a distinct minority.

you're so awesome! Rock rock on! Byzantium will never be the same!

Artifice of eternity?

Do not drink the water! My brother and I got very very sick last summer when my father misread the guide book and said we could drink the tap water in our hotel in Istanbul.

Sucky.

I got food poisoning in Prague. But that was my own fault.

Unrelatedly, if you look carefully, the Hagia Sophia has graffiti in Runic.

I don't think

glasseye will let me miss it!

I'm in the City for the next month or so. Congratulations on the conferences!

Oh? What are you up to?

Reading novels, apparently. Dissapation. Coffee?

Sounds good. Don't know when, though. Do you have my phone #?

I doubt it, mine's 206 579 4637 though.

I think mine is posted a couple of entries back. I'm still coordinating with my sibling-- it looks like Sunday or sometime later in the week (whenever I'm at Columbia) is probable.
