Going to see Condi

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is speaking in Tuscaloosa tomorrow, along with British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw. I'm planning to be there - the speech starts at 11 AM, so I'll be leaving Huntsville bright and early - hopefully at a time when I can avoid the worst of B'ham's rush hour traffic.

If anyone's interested in viewing the webast, here's the info:

RICE, STRAW LECTURE TO BE WEBCAST – The Frank A. Nix Lecture featuring U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw will be available via Web cast at http://www.ua.edu/webcast on Friday, Oct. 21. The program, presented by UA’s Blackburn Institute, will be at 11 a.m. in Sellers Auditorium of the Bryant Conference Center. The public is invited. Doors to the auditorium will open at 10 a.m. The Frank A. Nix Lecture honors the memory of Frank Albert Nix, a UA graduate, business leader and member of the Alabama Commission on Higher Education. Nix died tragically in an airplane crash in 1996, the same year he had been honored as the alumnus of the year by the UA National Alumni Association.

I'll be hanging around for the Tennessee game on Saturday, too. Rumor is that Condi will be doing the coin toss.

Anyway, if I don't talk to y'all before then...

Roll Tide!
