Oh, and don’t be intimidated by parking at UT- it can actually be a ghost town after 5 in the summertime! Either take quarters in case you find a good spot in the street, or (even better) read the signs along 21st Street (in most areas, parking is a free for all after business hours), or park in the Dobie Mall parking lot which does charge for parking (find the “skyscraper” across the street from the Harry Ransom Center).

SHHHH! Happy Silence,
LA
