Gi-normous telescopes, free food, and mardi gras music... oh my!

Atop a Mexican volcano is construction for a gi-normous telescope that is being funded by both the Mexican and U.S. governments. The fact that most of the U.S. funding is coming from the military makes some Mexicans skeptical of the entirety of U.S. intentions, but scientifically speaking, the telescope will let astronomers loock back 13 billion years!!!!

On a different note, Wednesday night is the next TULASO meeting at 8pm in the Patterson lounge- free food for anyone who's lookin' to get more involved in the department and give some input as to what and where to have the next Pachanga.

Lastly, one of my favorite Austin musicians is playing a few shows in town over the gras- Bob Schneider, who fuses Latin Brass Funk with his large band "The Scabs" will be playing house of blues with Better Than Ezra on Thursday, February 23 and with Rebirth at Howlin Wolf on Saturday the 25th. Definitely worth checking out, even if you've never heard his music before.
