    Super huge photo fabulousness Hey Kids! I took a lot of pictures for your visual pleasure. Check 'em out.

    Our in-house cafe, the "Designer's Alcove." Legend has it that Paul Rudolph used to sleep here.
    image

    Reading in the cafe.
    image

    Maria has run this cafe for over 25 years. Don't mess with her, or else you won't get a cookie.
    image

    This is my friend Craig's psychedelic site plan. Isn't it awesome?
    image

    First years sit on the sixth floor around the "pit."
    image

    Some first years hard at work.
    image

    The first year lounge. We call it the "materials library." It really needs some new furniture.
    image

    Our life-line: Poland Spring.
    image

    A third year student TA's an undergrad class.
    image

    A classmate's analytical model. I love it.
    image

    The second year's lounge. This could also use some new furniture.
    image

    A secret society next to the A&A. I think it's called "Wolf's Head."
    image

    The passage between York and High streets, which separates Branford and Jonathan Edwards colleges. It's a nice place to eat lunch.
    image

    The corner of York and Broadway. There are a lot of stores along this block, including Gourmet Heaven, one of the only 24hr places in town.
    image

    Mr. Burrito Man. The chef from Roomba owns this burrito cart that makes a great burrito. Best I've had on the east coast.
    image

    Cross campus. That's what it's called.
    image

    The Women's Table by Maya Lin, a Yale graduate. Every tour of Yale stops here.
    image

    Sustainable New Haven. Too bad there are hardly any bike lanes. Not to mention that cars totally disregard your safety.
    image

    Sterling Library. Fear it. (But do go see the amusing gargoyles.)
    image

    Beinecke Library under construction. From SOM's glory days.
    image

    Another secret society, a recently resorted Moorish style thing. Very pretty.
    image

    The Health Services building. Not such a bad place, medically speaking. The shop director likes to tell new students that if you cut off your finger, go find it, because at Yale-New Haven hospital they'll sew it back on.
    image

    Silliman College, the biggest of the residential colleges. I have a lot of friends who lived here. This is also where the undergrad yoga club holds its classes. Namaste.
    image

    The real entrance to the A&A building is the first floor side door, not the second floor door, which is hidden in darkness at the top of a not-so-grand staircase. (The risers are too small.)
    image

    In all its glory.
    image

    Louis I. Kahn's first public commission, the Yale Art Gallery. They're renovating it but it just looks like it's been salted.
    image

    The Yale Rep.
    image

    Hull's Art Supply, where we spend half our money.
    image

    The Yale School of Art is kick-ass. It's too bad the artists and the architects aren't co-mingled anymore.
    image

    More YSOA.
    image

    Thai Taste is yummy, and right around the corner.
    image

    The other half of our money goes to The Book Trader.
    image

    This is their courtyard.
    image

    Dawn is looking at a Happy Hour poster in one of our terrible elevators. (They break a lot.) The first year students are responsible for buying beer, and everyone else is responsible for drinking it. It's a good system.
    image

    There is a plexiglas encased model on every floor of the A&A -- except 7, I think. I'm pretty sure they're all Corbu buildings, but I can't remember with certainty.
    image

    That's all for now...
