We got there quite early but the main lecture room was full so we were in a spill over room. I guess there must have been over 500 people there altogether. She was excellent. I know she's pretty famous but all these people on a Saturday night? These are free lectures by the Vancouver Institute and they are always on a Sat. night at 8:15pm. Quite an interesting roster. Also interesting that Herbert Rosengarten, a old UBC prof of ours, gave the introduction. He seems quite active as I noticed he gave a lecture recently to the Jane Austen Society just before I joined.
This was the overflow lecture theatre...people just kept streaming in and not everyone got a seat.
This is a little light that was part of Jim's birthday present from Elaine this year. It is very thin and about 2" x 3" and it gives off an amazing light. Walking around here at night it is a bit dark in spots so this is a lifesaver.
