all,
<div> </div>
<div>A couple of quick responses to Jill's questions, which I am responding to
on list in case others are interested.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Dorm space: to the best of our knowledge, there is no available dorm space.
The conference venue is also on the edge of campus, and all dorms would actually
be further away than the hotel. Having the conference in an urban setting
unfortunately has its drawbacks: we could either choose a convenient hotel to
get a block of rooms in, or a somewhat cheaper one that would require a long bus
ride for participants. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>As for going through linguist list: We certainly were not trying to be
formal; there are just three organizers and we all would like access to all
abstracts submitted. I have accepted abstracts that were e-mailed to me, and if
anyone else would prefer to do that, I will happily accept them and pass them on
to the other organizers. All other correspondence will be done
"person-to-person."</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Of course, if there are any suggestions as to how we can maintain the
"generously open and friendly tone of the conference", don't hesitate to e-mail
me on or off-list. If we have done anything else to offend anyone while trying
to organize this conference, drop me a line.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Best,</div>
<div>Meredith</div>

<div>Dear Meredith, Bryan, and Matea,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>A couple of questions/comments: Is there no possibility of less
expensive dorm space? A shorter walk and/or less expense might make the
conference more friendly to a larger number of folks. Also, it
seems a little formal to be going through linguist list rather than directly
to the organizer's emails, regardless of links provided.
Yes, I'm sorry to sound like a grumpy old Luddite, but
surely linguists of all people ought to be cognizant of the
meta-communicative message of relying on 3rd party providers for 'ease' , so
to speak, rather than actual person-to-person correspondence? </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Forgive me for the complaints. This meeting date is a bit early in
the summer for my calendar, and I'm not really sure I'm up to going to a
Siouan conference without Bob just yet anyway. No doubt everyone is
still reeling under that weight, too. Perhaps the proceedings could be
shared with the list? Rory was the only one kind enough to
actually share his paper from last summer's meeting. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>But for future collegiality with fellow Siouanists, perhaps I'm not
too far out of line to request that the generously open and friendly tone of
the conference not be replaced with the rather frenzied pace of the
"standard" linguistics meeting. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>In the meantime, thank you for the willingness to host, and I
hope that perhaps the beginning of some kind of Festschrift for Bob could
begin to emerge from the group sorrow. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Sincerely yours,</div>

<div>Dear all,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>We have a couple of updates about the upcoming 34th Siouan and Caddoan
Languages Conference, to be held Friday, May 23 to Sunday, May 25 at the
University of Wisconsin-Madison.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The conference will be held at Memorial Union, which is on the
University of Wisconsin campus in downtown Madison. We have reserved a block
of rooms at the Hampton Inn, which is the closest hotel to the conference
site (less than a 10 minute walk away). The special conference rate is
$119/night for a double room from May 22-25. The rate is available until
April 22, and you can access this rate from the following link: <a href="http://hamptoninn.hilton.com/en/hp/groups/personalized/M/MSNBJHX-ALC-20140522/index.jhtml">http://hamptoninn.hilton.com/en/hp/groups/personalized/M/MSNBJHX-ALC-20140522/index.jhtml</a></div>
<div> </div>
<div>If you're on a tighter budget, we suggest finding a hotel on the west
side of Madison and taking a bus to the conference. Bus schedules and Google
transit planner are available here: <a href="http://www.cityofmadison.com/metro/">http://www.cityofmadison.com/metro/</a>
Please note that there are different schedules for the work week and
weekend.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Please see attached for a (very) tentative schedule. If you‘d like to
secure one of the spots on this schedule, remember to submit an abstract
online at <a href="http://linguistlist.org/confcustom/SCLC34">http://linguistlist.org/confcustom/SCLC34</a>
by this Sunday, March 23! :)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Lastly, we hope to have registration available shortly! We are still
waiting for confirmation on our conference funding. If it comes through
(fingers crossed!), registration will be free, and there will be a
subsidized conference dinner. We will let you know as soon as we do!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>We hope to have more info for you soon, but in the meantime, please
feel free to e-mail with any questions. Also check our new website <a href="https://sites.google.com/site/34sclc/accomodations">https://sites.google.com/site/34sclc/accomodations</a>
