Refreshing

Refreshing

One of the most refreshing things about the lectures (apart from their above-average quality) is the fact that they are entirely voluntary. To be able legitimately to attend a lecture or nay, as the spirit moves, is indeed a rare pleasure. Couple with that the certain knowledge of a first-class address, and you have conditions elsewhere unequalled. You may be interested in some friendly advice from an old hand on the equipment necessary for attending a lecture. This is somewhat different from what you are no doubt used to. For maximum efficiency of concentration (so say nothing of comfort) the minimum equipment is as follows: 1 Lilo (you may possible manage without), 1 sleeping bag, 3 pillows (minimum), 50 cigarettes (if a non-intellectual omit this item), chocolates, sweets, apples, etc. to taste.

A word to the wary; If you are still thinking of Congress exclusively as an intellectual powerhouse, then don't if you are the frankly social type with no pretensions or aspiration to the higher planes of intellectual exercise, then Curious Cove has plenty to offer you—parties, parties and P-A-R-T-I-E-S. Beside parties, Congress can offer you sunshine, a warm sea, bush-clad hills, and whether your forte is swimming, fishing, tramping, water-skiing, bending a bow or pitching a line, you will find all catered for at Curious Cove.
