Yeah, Big win for MIT. But, In a way I'm glad I have Fri off so I can avoid the mad-house around campus with the added security, and probably less parking.

WAI... :-)

From an e-mail I got:
Logistics of the Visit
A great number of us would love the opportunity to see the President speak in person. However, as is common with Presidential visits, seating for the address will be extraordinarily limited and will be by invitation only. The tickets MIT has for the event will be allocated in such a way as to be broadly representative of the Institute--and weighted to favor students. I am working with the deans of our five
schools to extend invitations to a small number of students, faculty and staff. In order to allow as much of the community to share in this visit as possible, we will webcast the address live to various locations around campus.

Details on the locations of the webcasts, as well as any further
information about the day of the visit, will be made available
tomorrow at http://web.mit.edu/events/presidentialvisit.
