This is a note similar to one I sent to Giorgio and Barry about the
Pisa meeting dates. Obviously the middle of the week (T-Th) schedule may
be less than ideal for some. It may be too late to change, but you can
email both Giorgio and Barry (soon!) if you have an opinion.

Dear Giorgio and Barry,
The Tuesday-Thursday Pisa schedule is obviously a little
troublesome. Is there a good reason we can't go Thursday-Friday-Saturday
instead? Or move to Monday-Wednesday? Alessandro and Carlo said that the
question should probably be referred to you two.
I know that it is difficult to change the meeting dates now, but
missing Monday through Thursday classes is essentially impossible for me,
and I suspect is at least a problem for other people as well. Airfare
Philadelphia-Pisa is
over $400 less if we stay over the weekend (at least if bought today on TWA).
Similar saving must occur from other US departures. Good news is, Pisa
costs no more than Rome.
