competitive lecturing

note to self: check who else is giving talks in town that day before picking dates...

so my talk at Berkeley (LBL) was relatively lightly attended, turns out some other vaguely astro like person was speaking on campus later that day, some Brit called Stephen something, talking about cosmology, of course

the amusing thing is that the senior people tended to come to my talk, the students apparently went to Hawking's talk - I'd have done the same... and it is hard to go to two talks, especially during proposal season.
And in California it is always proposal season!
