I'm sure you're also familiar with Dinkelspiel Auditorium at Stanford?

Below ground (below the main hall), they "cleverly" built rehearsal rooms and a large rehearsal space which the Stanford Chorus used to use. Only trouble was that when there was a good rain (not even a 100 year flood), the sewage would overflow into the practice rooms and the rehearsal space, and people would have to wait until it dried and could be cleaned up. This happened maybe five or six times just during the period I was there in the 70's. I guess it was all part of the "Leland Stanford Junior University Experience". Yes, it's true: I had to attend a junior university. ;-)

On weekday evenings, Dinkelspiel often holds free lectures - Luminator 12:16:18 09/06/24 (1)
One day after work, I spotted George Clooney, who was supposed to give a free talk at Dinkelspiel. I was expecting an entourage, but no, as far as I could tell, he only had a single assistant.

Another sight to behold was the Dalai Lama and all the monks.

But anyway, the "Beat Cal" t-shirts do not sell. The attitude among students is "But we always beat Cal."

No, I was unaware of the underground floors at Dinkelspiel having plumbing problems. But Building Maintenance has had decades to resolve that :-)

  Per the last sentence in your post, one HOPES that the plumbing problems were eventually resolved! ;-)
