[Air-L] Invitation to NCA internet research lecture, and aoir-meetup

[Steve Jones]

I hope that those of you on air-l who are going to the National  
Communication Association meeting in San Diego next week can come to  
the Internet research lecture on Saturday, Nov. 22, 12:30pm - 1:45pm  
at the Manchester Grand Hyatt/Parlor Room 606. (Those of you familiar  
with ongoing events surrounding this year's NCA meeting might  
appreciate that attempts to have the talk elsewhere, outside the  
hotel, including at UCSD, were unsuccessful due to cost.) I've pasted  
below a blurb about the lecture.

We should also have an AoIR meet-up. Friday night (Nov. 21) seems to  
be "reception" night, so perhaps Saturday, Nov. 22? Happy hour? If  
you're going to NCA email me off-list and I'll put together a list of  
those interested in getting together so we can make arrangements.

Thanks,
Sj
