Dear all,
On this sunny March day we are sending you important organizational notes.
Should you have questions about this please contact us off-list.
  Sauna and Swimming< At the post-party morning-workout on Sunday you can continue the heated
debate in the sauna or swimming pool (still in negotiation). Don't forget
towel and swim suit.
  Please Register< Please register for the conference on the website.
http://molodiez.org/ocs/registration.php
We need to find out how many people will come.
The registration fee of $40 goes entirely towards food. Please all pay this
*in-person, *cash only when you arrive. There will be a desk set up for this
in the Department of Media Study.
  Arrival/ Departure< Please arrive in the early afternoon of Friday April 23. We'll launch the
publication around 7pm on Friday. Schedule your departure for not earlier
than 7pm on Sunday evening, April 25.
  For International Participants< In the airplane you'll receive a green I-94 form for tourists. It is
important that you check "pleasure" as reason for your trip and not
"business."
  Hotel< Those of you who will stay in "The University Inn" need to email the hotel
(in-*at*universityinn.com) to confirm their arrival at least 2 weeks before
the conference. In your email please state the name of our conference
"networks, art, & collaboration." The price is $50 (no additional tax) per
night which we negotiated for the conference (otherwise $89 plus tax).
This includes a continental breakfast. The rooms are spacious with two large
beds. Free shuttles run by the hotel are available to pick you up from the
airport and get you back in the evening on Sunday. Once you arrived at the
airport you can call the hotel at (716)-636-7500 to request the shuttle,
which will then arrive in about 20 minutes. The hotel is located a 5 minute
walk away from the location of the conference.
  Finding Somebody To Stay With< If you'd like to stay with one of the students in our department, please
approach Elizabeth Knipe <eakn-*at*buffalo.edu>;. She'll do her best to find
you a place to stay.
We look forward to meeting you all in about six weeks to learn, discuss,
dance, eat & make new friends.Best,
Trebor / Geert
