I think I read Soul Of A New Machine in the same year I read The Cuckoo's Egg. Both books left a deep impression on me.

Stoll was a deadhead, right? He used to go to see the Dead at the Greek?

Not really a deadhead -- I used to go to the Greek for Dead concerts (hey, it's Berkeley), but I didn't follow them around the country or analyze X-Factors.

Anyways, when the Greek Theater is a 10 minute downhill walk from your lab, how could you not go? (those days seem so long-ago...)
