The main venue for this conference will be the Aspen Center for Physics, just a few minutes walk from the Aspen Meadows. As generations of scientists can attest, the Center’s beautiful location and its low-key atmosphere create a unique and lively environment for thought, education, and collaboration.
Breaks: Weather permitting, all breaks will be in the Stranahan Patio just south of the volleyball court. If weather does not permit, breaks will be in the Stranahan Lobby.
Internet: Login acprf, password highlands. The campus is wireless.
Mild-mannered Black Bears really live here. Food trash must be locked in the bear-proof trashcan. When you are here late, please close doors behind you and be aware that you could see a bear.
Restrooms: There are several stalls downstairs in Paepcke Auditorium. Please use them as your first choice! At the Physics Center there is one restroom in Bethe, two at the east end of Stranahan, two in Flug Forum, and two in Smart Lobby.
Recommended restaurants for no-host group dinners
Mention “Physics” and you’ll be seated together. Some will offer a free appetizer. They expect a group but you don’t have a reservation and if they can’t accommodate you, please see http://eataspen.com for more restaurant ideas and off-season specials.
Monday: El Rincon or Asie
Tuesday: Hickory House or White House Tavern
Wednesday: Mezzaluna or Campo de Fiori (both 25% off specials)
Thursday: Picnic at the Physics Center. Your family is welcome.
Friday: Little Annie’s or Little Ollie’s
The Hefner Bar at the Meadows also has a very nice bar menu and Plato’s is lovely for a quiet dinner “at home.”
