[QUOTE="CuseTroop, post: 2285250, member: 47"]
During the academic year, my department holds a weekly lecture series. Every Friday, from 3-4. It's not exactly mandatory that I attend, but if I don't have meetings, or I'm not fighting deadlines I normally go to show support, and catch some knowledge on whatever topic the lecture happens to be on.

We had our first one of the year last week. I missed it as I was in Anchorage visiting Cuse fans that we met in the Bahamas.

This week is our big one. There's a lecture tonight that I'm skipping (Evolution of endothermy in birds and mammals) but I have to attend the reception immediately after (heard they got 21 bottles of wine for this thing)

Tomorrow, from 3-4, the same researcher (from South Africa) will be giving a talk about the legacy of our lecture series, and will be sharing stories about his work with many of the researchers who have participated in this lecture series. I've been pretty excited about it since we announced it early in the summer.

Yesterday it hit me, Cuse kicks off at 3.

Do I miss the first hour of our season opener?
Do I skip the lecture? (also mandatory is another reception at my Directors house a few hours after the lecture. I'm sure I'll be in many conversations about both lectures, so it would probably be smart to attend at least one)

Ughhh I hate time zones.
