[Conlangs-Conf] Friday & Saturday meetup times & locations, video interview times, during-conference interviews, & rideshare request

Hello everyone.

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 request.

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.

 - Sai
