I've gotten a couple of questions about the trip:

1.  No need to RSVP or register.  They're expecting an indeterminate
group of about 15 people.

2.  People are getting there by various means.  I'm planning to walk
with a group from the Fenway area -- send me an email if you'd like to
join.

If others would like to leave together from the lab, please reply to
the PRL list to set that up.
