When: Friday, Oct. 1st , 7-9pm
Where: Nola, 535 Ramona St.
Who: Please look for some enthusiastic people wearing a bit of orange and black.
Nola Info:
"Nola is a bit of New Orleans located in the historic Ramona Street Building in downtown Palo Alto. Our menu consists of Creole, Cajun, and Southwestern cuisine. New Orleans favorites, such as hurricanes, fresh oysters, gumbo, seafood jambalaya, and étouffée, are just a few of the classics you will find.
The party stretches out over three floors, with seven different funky dining areas. Nola has one of the largest collections of Southern folk art on the West Coast. From the dark side of the French Quarters come some of the hippest local "outsider" artists, such as Marc "Baby" Bercier, Big Al "The Shoe Shine" Tamplet, and A.J. Lastat Boudreaux. Other Southern greats, such as Frank "Preacher" Boyle and Robert Harris, capture that wild, funky life of the South. Lots of food, booze, and blues! Come check out what Fortune magazine voted as "the hottest bar in the Silicon Valley."
Welcome to the party-- grab a Hurricane, a group of friends, wrap
yourself in our mardi gras beads and “Laisser les Bon Temps Rouler!!”

Professor James McPherson to Speak at Cal State - Chico |

| Lecture:
The Global Impact of the American Civil War On
October 14th, Princeton history professor James McPherson will be
presenting a lecture at Califoria State University - Chico entitled
"The Global Impact of the American Civil War". The event will take
place at Laxson Auditorium on Chico's campus and a reception will
follow in Trinity Hall (also on campus). Both events are free and
open to the public. If you are in the area, come on over!
Chico is located about 90 miles north of Sacramento on CA Highway
99. From Sacramento area, head north. Once in Chico, take the "East
First Avenue" exit (also signs say "California State University,
Chico"), turn left at end of exit ramp. Proceed on East First Avenue
to the Esplanade. Turn left onto the Esplanade, pass Bidwell Mansion
State Historic Site, and look for on-street parking (no cars allowed
on campus). There are a few city lots in the surrounding blocks.
The University entrance is at First Avenue and Salem Street.
From the Bay Area, take I-5 north toward Redding. Exit at Orland
and take CA Highway 32 to Chico (about 20 miles on a two-lane road).
Once within Chico's city limits, proceed on 32 (which is also known
as Nord Avenue). Turn left onto 2nd Avenue, which takes you right
by campus. Park in a city lot or on street (no charge after 6 pm).
Laxson Auditorium is just inside the university entrance on right.
Trinity Hall, site of the post-lecture reception, is about 80 yards
away from Laxson, and is recognizable by its bell tower.
