Subject: Hotel Info for SLSA 2006

Dear All,

Although it will be a few weeks before we determine which abstracts to
accept for the conference, you may want to make your hotel reservations
sooner rather than later. As this year's conference will not be held at
a hotel, we are not able to reserve rooms for members at a group rate.
The sooner you reserve your hotel, the better your rate will be. If
your plans change, most hotels will allow you to cancel without penalty
within a certain time limit. Below I've pasted the information which
currently appears on the SLSA 06 website under Hotel Info. Please check
there for possible updates.

Seekers of roommates should use litsci-l for that purpose.  Please
provide personal contact information so that those who are interested
can contact you directly to work things out, and put ROOMMATE REQUEST
prominently in your subject line so that those not interested can hit
their delete buttons.

Any questions, please write me at alexander@dactyl.org 
Victoria Alexander

p.s. The Call for Papers has closed, so your inboxes won't be filled
with abstracts, but I do hope everyone continues to exchange comments.
