LIGO X

attachment:xmen.jpg

The LIGO Instrument Science Group at Caltech

Meeting time: Tuesdays, Noon, 3rd Floor West Bridge SCR

The goal of this group is to collaborate and discuss ideas for experiments to perform on the Caltech campus. We work on projects that are immediately applicable to the IFOs today, as well as future generations of interferometers.

Presenters are sometimes chosen in advance, sometimes chosen spontaneously, to present the experiments they are working on, experiments they plan to work on, or experiments which could be interesting for LIGO. All talks should be "chalkboard talks", i.e. no prepared slides.

Pizza

We often have pizza at our meetings. If it's your turn to order the pizza, call up [http://www.romeos-pizzeria.com/ Romeo's Pizzaria] in Pasadena: 626-795-4591 - Or Pizza Man - see below

  • Ask for 3 extra large pizzas (your choice....make sure 1 is vegetarian)
  • Each should be cut into 12 slices (if we decide to get larges....the Large pizzas come with 8 slices by default)
  • Make sure to ask for an itemized receipt
  • Ask for sodas from the pizza guy, or buy ~2 2-liter bottles of soda from the C-Store or elsewhere.
  • Ask him to meet you across the street from Cahill (aka "The Red Building") on California...they know where that is.
  • Keep your receipts - give them to Julie Hiroto, and she will take care of your reimbursement.

If ordering from [http://pizzamanpasadena.com/ Pizza Man] - (626) 577-1135‎

  • If it is possible, order since the day before
  • Order 3 extra large (or 4 if there is a large turnout expected) - these come with 16 smaller slices (which is good)
  • I had easy delivery to San Pasqual and Wilson, (had the driver get confused once trying to find Cahill)
  • The Vegetarians gave a big thumbs up to the Pesto Pizza - the Mexican Pizza is also a hit with the meat eaters
  • You get 50% off each second XL pizza - so 30$ for two, 50$ for three, and 60$ for four. Four is a lot of pizza.
  • Itemized receipts to Julie Hiroto as above
