Weekend at the Carlsbad caverns (driving through Roswell!)
We two lazy Italians (Fabio and Sandro) have some vacations after the school, and after the suggestion of JP we decided to drive to Carlsbad caverns during the weekend. We will go to Albuquerque on Saturday to rent a car, and we plan to arrive to Carlsbad on Saturday evening. We have tents, and we still have one place available: who wants to join? You'll have to come bcak on your own, since we're heading westwards afterwards...
Ride to Albuquerque late Friday night
Looking for a group of people going away early on Saturday morning (30th) from Albuquerque.. Currently the last shuttle for the day on 29th leaves St. John's at 6 p.m. So if we have a few people, we can explore other ways to get to Albuquerque later in the night (after the bbq and party). Please let me know or sign up here with name and time of preference to leave St. John's. Priya

Road Trip to Boulder, Colorado
From Gareth: Hi all, I'm planning on making a trip up to Boulder, CO for the weekend. It's about a 6 1/2 hr drive from Santa Fe and I'll be renting a car. My main reason for the trip is to see a friend of mine so you might have to sort your own accommodation (camping/youth hostel/hotel). We're planning on a bit of hiking nearby. The plan is to leave straight from class on Friday evening and arrive back in Santa Fe on Sunday eve. If you're interested in splitting petrol and rental fee and joining me for some Springsteen singalongs then sign up:

Dancing
Swing dancing on Monday 18th June. Lessons from 7 to 8 P.M. Dancing from 8 on wards. The cost is $8 including the lesson and dancing (or $3 for the dancing). Venue: Odd Fellows Hall, 1125 Cerrillos Road. We have not yet decided on transportation. We could either take a cab or walk -- Let's try to decide during dinner. Sign up below if you are interested:
1.Vikram -- Slightly biased towards taking the lesson.
2. Xue -- dancing, though not a strong preference.
3. Mark - I could use a lesson, or twelve. Do we have transportation?
4. Chloe -- would rather walk down with everyone than skip the lesson.
5. Aleksandra -- would try lesson, may be stay for dancing.
PS: If you are on the edge because you want to attend the session on "Introduction to Python". I would be happy to walk you through the basics of Python at a later time. -- Vikram
PPS: how about a Dancing Python lunch tomorrow? I can do intro tutoring too. --Chloe
Other varieties --
There's a contra on the 23rd; swing dancing most Mondays; this is supposed to be a great tango town, and the drop-in-friendly beginner class on Thursday PM was good ($20, though).
We've heard great Appalachian-style folk musicians here already, but I haven't found a ceili or hoedown locally.
--Chloe
