Me too, Susan . . . > I'd like to hear from some graduate students/underemployed before > I decided that $75 plus a difference in ground transportation > costs was negligible. But here's another consideration. Everybody knows that I tend to lean toward spartan when it comes to accomodations and location (remember Bambi in the jug?) . . . but it _is_ true that part of the wonderful intimacy of Inkshed comes because we're all thrown in whatever context we're in together. I was struck by M-L's remark about how White Oaks "may be too fancy and even distracting for the likes of us" . . . I was in the Niagara-on-the-Lake area a couple of weeks ago, and _I_ sure find the wineries distracting, not to mention the Shaw festival. I think I'd as soon be up at Hockey-in-the-Hole and then make a trip down to the banana belt afterward and keep my lives separate . . . -- Russ St. Thomas University http://www.StThomasU.ca/~hunt/ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- To leave the list, send a SIGNOFF CASLL command to [log in to unmask] or, if you experience difficulties, write to Russ Hunt at [log in to unmask] For the list archives and information about the organization, its newsletter, and the annual conference, go to http://www.stu.ca/inkshed/ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
