Sunday, July 29: Antje: Santa Cruz; Mark: Palm Desert to Las Vegas

This was the big registration day for the conference with the keynote lecture in the evening, and we were very busy, with over 300 participants this year. We were at work from about 8 am in the morning until 10 and didn’t get home until about 11. Meanwhile, Mark drove the 5 hours from Josh’s place to Las Vegas, got himself settled in the Imperial Palace hotel, and started playing poker.
