>Hello everyone.
There's a slim chance I may be able to attend. I seem to have misplaced the
link to the necessary info, though. Also, can I ask what hotel people are
staying at, if there's one in particular?

>1. The Saturday meetup will be at Long Life Vegi House at 2129
>University Ave. (@ Shattuck), at 4 PM. They serve lunch specials until
>5 pm (full meal for $5), vegetarian fakemeat, and real seafood.
>Metered parking is available in the area, and is free after 6 PM.
>
>Location is very near the Downtown Berkeley BART and lots of different
>bus lines. Google it, or use TripPlanner
>(
http://transit.511.org/tripplanner/index.asp).
>
>It's right next to the Domino's Pizza, and a couple stores down from
>the hardware store.
>
>PLEASE RSVP FOR THE SATURDAY MEETUP! I need to tell them exactly how
>many people to expect - and there's a big difference in seating
>between 15 and 40 people showing up!
>
>2. The Friday meetup will be at Cafe Milano, 2522 Bancroft Way (@
>Telegraph), also at 4 PM. They serve basically your usual cafe fare.
>Can't comment on the coffee, since I don't drink it, but it's rated
>pretty decently (and cheap).
>
>PLEASE RSVP FOR THIS TOO.
>
>3. Video interviews will be done on Saturday either before the meetup
>(anytime from 1:30-4), or as a step-away. (Preferrably the former.)
>
>PLEASE RSVP WITH A SPECIFIC TIME WINDOW, preferrably from 1-4 PM
>Saturday or Friday, if you want to be interviewed on camera!
>
>4. During the event itself, William Richard, morning news producer and
>radio host at Berkeley's KALX (
http://kalx.berkeley.edu/), will be
>conducting audio interviews (recognizable by the DAT recorder, mic,
>headphones, and stentorian voice). Flag him down if you're interested
>in participating.
>
>All interview material will be used as you specifically allow us to
>(we'll ask). My intent is that it be used e.g. for posting online,
>possibly for responsible radio or TV shows (NPR perhaps?), and for
>general documentary purposes.
>
>Questions asked will be the usual things, as I mentioned earlier. If
>you have something to say about conlanging, or IN your conlang, this
>is your opportunity. ;-)
>
>5. Rideshares
>
>If anyone is coming from, or passing through, Davis CA, please let me
>know - I've got one person there without transport who would like to
>come.
>
>If anyone else needs a ride, please let me know and I'll send out a
>
>6. For everything conference-related, LOOK FOR THE CONLANG FLAG!
>
>I will be present at both meetups with an actual flag on a pole, so
>that should be pretty easily recognized. Conference signs (which will
>be posted on MLK) will also bear the stylized flag design as used in
>the T-shirts.
>
>That's all for now.
