That would be Adam Parrish...in fact, he's my best friend 'round these
parts. It's a shame he's not on the list anymore; he's a bit occupied these
days with a girl in New York. :)

Let's see...yes, no, no, and yes. This is my fourth year *in* Berkeley,
though only my second year *at* Berkeley--I took two years off to focus
theoretically on art but more accurately on working because, as they don't
teach you in high school, it's extremely difficult to stay alive with no
money. I'm guessing you're a grad student, since you're organizing a
symposium...what're you studying?

Those darn SLUGs always schedule their darn meetings when I have a darn
section...to which I say, bah! Should I get on the mailing list anyway? :)

Regarding the Symposium, I did indeed read your notice about it with
interest. When is it going to be, again? Do you know yet who'll be speaking?
Are there provisions for a three-man Conlangers' Cheer?

In any event, I'll be there, so long as it's not in the early morning on a
weekend. :)


Cheers,
   Josh
