Bill, the place to buy beer around Rice is on the campus, at the entirely volunteer-operated Valhalla, the non-profit Graduate Student Association pub under the stairs to the old Chemistry Building. Beer was $0.35 when I was in grad school there. That was a long time ago, admittedly, but I think it has only risen to $0.75 per cup now.
Just look for the red lights by the stairs. The cavern-like atmosphere alone is worth it.

Thanks especially for Louise and Paul for the party site and serving breakfast on Sunday to some of us who crashed at their house. Cavers (and the mosquitoes of the Houstopolis area) were well fed during the party. Rice campus very nice. I'd never been there. They evidently got started with enough land, and didn't get hemmed in like the UT Austin campus. Lots of green lawns, huge parking lots around the stadium, etc. Glad, though, that the Posse doesn't charge as much for beer as the Ginger Man, a similar near-campus pub, does. I've attended very few BOG meetings since I was actually on the board, but I imagine this one was one of the most successful in years in terms of getting to meet local cavers. There were hardly any Texas cavers in the audience at the meeting itself. I don't especially blame them, but they missed Bill Liebman accidentally voting against one of his own motions. And another of his motions going down 1 for and 15 opposed. --Mixon ---------------------------------------- I believe there are 15,747,724,136,275,002,577,605,653,961,181,555, 468,044,717,914,527,116,709,366,231,425,076,185, 631,031,296 protons in the universe and the same number of electrons.— Sir Arthur Eddington ---------------------------------------- You may "reply" to the address this message came from, but for long-term use, save: Personal: [email protected] AMCS: [email protected] or [email protected] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Visit our website: http://texascavers.com To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
