[Econfon] Tonight's meeting place

[Noemi Giszpenc]

Hiya Econfoners,

==========
If you want to get removed from this list, let me know! Traffic is about to 
pick up substantially! I'll still love you even if you want to leave... 
(*sniff*)  ;)

***Please let me know if you plan on coming (on time) tonight so I know to 
wait for you.***

I'm sad to say that I haven't exactly got a classroom yet for tonight, but 
the schedules office has promised me one before the end of the day. So, to 
prevent confusion and to make it easier for folks unfamiliar with MIT, let's 
meet up in Lobby 7--the big lobby at the top of the main steps that are on 
Massachusetts avenue. See map (look for the number 7 next to Mass ave):
http://whereis.mit.edu/map-jpg?zoom=level3&centerx=709840&centery=495543&oldzoom=level4&map.x=302&map.y=193

Getting there: the number 1 bus stops right in front of the main steps. If 
you take the T to Central Square, it is a longish but direct walk straight 
down Massachusetts ave (or for an extra 90 cents you can hop on the number 1 
bus). If you take the T to Kendall square, it is a shorter but probably more 
confusing walk. On the above map, scroll northeast once, and you'll see the 
Kendall sq T stop marked in the upper right hand corner. Probably the 
easiest way to get to Lobby 7 from the T is to walk down Carleton Street, 
hang a right on Amherst Street, walk straight through campus until you hit 
building 6, turn right again until you get to building 8, then walk inside 
along the "Infinite Corridor" through building 8, 4, 10, 3, and finally 7.

If you get there late and we've gone, I'll have left a note--cross the 
lobby, and look at the bulletin board to the right of the long, main 
corridor directly across from the Mass ave doors.

Sorry for all the cloak-and-dagger stuff.

In cheerier news, the SYLLABUS is finally online! See 
www.ai.mit.edu/projects/econfon. So is Lecture 1, tonight's class. And so, 
dear students, is problem set 1. :)

A bumpy start, but things should smooth out. Looking forward to seeing you 
all tonight,

Noemi
