As I type this, there is a Bigfoot expert recounting his tales of Bigfoot tracking to the museum's programming director. "Picture a gorilla about 8 feet tall...They're very crafty...The best sound recordings come from the Sierra Nevadas...This redneck woman kept feeding him blueberry pancaked with syrup!" It's my last day at the museum and I am going to miss this place.
As of today, I have finished up both my presentation and my proposal. I'm due to present my proposal to Ama in a few hours. This week at the museum has been extremely busy. Everyone is preparing for the spring fundraising gala, which is happening this evening. The point of the event, titled Seis de Mayo Monster Mash, is to release the topics of the museum's Sunday lecture series, Mixed Taste. It's going to be insane! There will be Bollywood dancers, King Kong, Godzilla and several strong men lifting up a smart car, along with several volunteers representing topics handcuffed together. Tickets cost upwards of one hundred dollars, but I get to go for free and don't even have to do any work (because it's my last day).
I can't wait to come back to Tucson and see all of you soon! By the way, if any of you are looking for a good summer read, I would highly recommend Daniel Dennett's Conscioisness Explained. It's absolutely mind-blowing. And what's even more mind-blowing is the fact that I might be taking a class from him sometime in the next four years!
