Purchased Ring cycle tickets 15 minutes after they became available online. Heavy traffic. A couple of hours later, all the cheap seats are gone.
Barbara Olins Alpert talked about her book The Creative Ice Age Brain. I was the only person present who didn't know the author personally, and I went out of a false presumption of what the book was about. Even though the author decided to use some biology jargon, this is a book on history and art, nothing really about the brain. Her tales of going to the caves are more interesting than the presentation itself.
