I'd be more than glad to accept your visits, or to meet you in Geneve. If you're planning on going to the Jazz festivals in Montreux or in Vienne, or if you have some recommendations about the concerts which are not yet sold out, I'd be glad to hear about it.

If you get to Paris in any weekend until the end of July, you shouldn't miss the Paris Jazz Festival at the flower park, near Chateau de Vincennes (last metro station to the east). If you get there on Saturday, July 7th, you could hear Herbie Hancock live for 1.5 Euros. If you hurry you might still get a chance to see the surrealist exhibition in Pompidou (?) which is just about to be closed.

Here's the Montreux jazz festival program:

Here's the beam status for our experiment (we're NA58):

If it makes you feel better, I can assure you I haven't been to any underground facility yet, though I go about with a film badge and sometimes work under direct exposure to muon beams at 190GeV (though at non-lethal intensities, or so they say)

I hope this message isn't considered too offtopiced & personal. Anyways there are lots of important things I find no time to do, so I don't get to read the Ayal lately.

yours,
Lior
