A few things:

1) If you would like copies of all the photos I took last year (there are about 20,000) please send me an email and I will reply with my address. Then you'll need to send me an external hard drive (you can buy them at Best Buy and other electronics stores). Here is a sample that I found at Walmart's site: External Drive at Walmart. You can send either a portable USB powered drive, or a drive that draws AC power.

Only a small fraction of the photos I take ever show up here. I'm sorry, but I'm not going to post my home (mailing) address here for privacy reasons, but I'm happy to provide it to you on an email. the cost for postage and mailing materials is $5 so please enclose a check or cash with your drive. Perhaps some students can combine and purchase one drive (or already have one they can share) so that your cost is reduced to just the $5 as well as postage mailing it to me. I'm happy to do prior years as well. Also, I have many of the Alumni band if any alums are checking this site and have interest.

3) The California Experience: AAMB Juniors and Seniors ( Includes Super Seniors plus grad students if any) will be eligible to apply for 4 opportunities I'm going to provide this next fall. Just a hint of what this is all about: You'll fly out to California during your fall break and enjoy three days and four nights of some of the fun activities in Northern California. How does San Francisco sound? I'm going to save the details for later, but keep checking this site during the summer as if you are interested in this, you'll be able to improve your chances by doing so. All expenses will be paid. An application will be available here this summer. (ever wanted to see Alcatraz? Drive over the Golden Gate Bridge?)

if you would like to see any particular items added to this agenda, please send me an email at jim@purduebandfan.com and I will be my best to incorporate your ideas into the itinerary.
