I think this festival and exhibition is going to be a very big deal. I 
hope I can find a way to attend.

In preparing the announcement I had to learn how to read a bit of 
Catalan, because I didn't like the official translations. Catalan is an 
interesting blend of langue d'oc, Italian, and French. Not so much 
Spanish. One problem when you learn a language by reading is that I have 
no idea how to pronounce anything, and cannot speak it at all.  I asked 
Lluis how to pronounce Revela-T; he gave a long answer in an interesting 
mixture of French, English, and Catalan. My summary using American vowel 
sounds: reh-vay-LAH.

50 years ago I had a short-term job in Valbonne, and was forced to learn 
langue d'oc so I could understand what my co-workers were saying to each 
other. I was afraid they were talking about me, but of course they 
weren't. They hardly knew I existed.
