Complex Systems Summer School 2016



June 24 @ 5:00pm - 1:00am Meow Wolf expedition: House of Eternal Return exposition and Concert at night: Nosaj Thing & Lucky Dragons

Apparently a mindblowing non-linear interactive exposition in the day and awesome concert at night, so we can do both in one go or you can join us for either ; )

You can check the info for the exposition here: https://meowwolf.com/about/visit/ and the concert here: https://meowwolf.com/event/currents-nosaj-thing-lucky-dragons/

Car volunteers welcome, otherwise we would just share and Uber, taxi or just take a lovely walk and watch the New Mexican nightsky (you know, just in case we suddenly find that there are double the stars in our view ;) Note: not free, expo is 18 and concert is 25, but I predict they are surely worth it!

There are some restaurants in the area - Dr. Field Goods, and Duel Brewing, as well as fast food.

Jun 25 - Jun 26: Bisti Badland overnight trip

  • Ruichen (Organizer): I have reserved one SUV for this overnight trip (seats 5, including driver).

Plan to leave SJC after lunch on Saturday, arrive at the park around 4pm, hike till sunset; and then spend the night at Farmington (hotel/hostel), get back to the park for sunrise (~5:30am - 7am), and then head back to SJC in time for Sunday brunch.


Cost will be split among everyone who participates:-) I have a California driver's license.


Please sign up below. If you can drive, that would be a plus! (Ideally, it would be good to have at least 2-3 drivers in such a multi-day road trip)

July 1 Opera

The Santa Fe Opera season starts July 1 with Puccini's 1910 La Fanciulla del West -- a gold rush era drama set in the American West, called a "lyrical poem" by a Toscanini, and starring Minnie, a saloon owner who becomes the outlaw protagonists's love interest.

Seems like the perfect opera to see while we are in Santa Fe! It's common at the Santa Fe Opera to tailgate first -- which we can do with a quick trip to Whole Foods on our way.

If you're interested in going, sign up here. In a day or two we'll work on getting tickets together. Ticket prices seem to range from about $37 to over $300.

Interested in renting cars

July 2 - July 4: Carlsbad Cavern and Whitesand National Monument trip

  • Organizer: Ruichen: I have reserved a SUV from Enterprise for this trip (5 seats including driver). Cost will be split among everyone who participates:-) I have a California driver's license. I would like to stay at Airbnb or hostel/affordable hotel for both nights, since it is fairly close to the US/Mexico border and may not be safe to wander in the wild at night..

Tentative itinerary (can be changed):

  • July 2

Leave St John's around 9:30am, head to Carlsbad Cavern National Park (takes about 5-6 hours), and visit the park till it closes. Stay at a hotel in the city of Carlsbad (one room, 2 queen beds, for 4 persons + add another movable bed -- let me know if this is okay. Only one Airbnb available in the area, and it is the same setup as hotel with 2 queen beds).

  • July 3

Visit Carlsbad NP again (in the morning), head to White Sand National Monument after lunch. Visit White Sand NM till dinner time. Stay at Las Cruces (one hotel seems to have suites suitable for maximum 6 guests (2 bedrooms), at ~$150 total, still 2-3 beds though).

  • July 4

Maybe visit White Sand NM once more and head back. Can stop by Albuquerque/Santa Fe downtown if there are festivals for the holiday.


Please sign up below. If you can drive, that would be a plus! (Ideally, it would be good to have at least 2-3 persons who can drive in such a multi-day road trip)

  • Nicole: I can drive but would prefer not to
  • Ryan (I have license and insurance)
  • Devrim-I will be driving too, and can drive some people. I may consider leaving on Friday and stay for two nights, depending on the research schedule.
  • Ben. I don't have drivers' license.
  • Danilo. I have italian driving license. Some say I can drive.
  • Cheng Jin. I have Chinese driver's license and I can be a bench driver.
  • Jelena - I can drive
  • Moriah - I can drive
