    fellow noters when travelling. If you're planning a trip and would like
    to meet with members of the =wn= community, reply to this note with

	I'm going to be in the Greater LA area (Westlake Village, Thousand
Oaks) next week on business.  Any =wn= folks who might like to show me around?
I've never really been in the greater LA area before.

	Please send mail (WAYLAY::GORDON) rather than clutter the file.

    Ann, if I wanted to *work* I wouldn't be going to Boston!
    Let me know if they let you have any free time.

    -- Linda  :)

    I'm off to Cupertino (UCF1, I believe) for six weeks.  Tomorrow's my
    last day on this coast 'till 10/22.  I have my west coast address and
    phone number, but will be using this account while I'm there (ie. I
    _will_ get mail sent to this node).
    
    lt

I'll be in Bellevue, Washington, from 5.March until 24.March working
at the ACT and staying someplace off Lake Somamish (sp?) Parkway.

Looking forward to meeting you, Joe W. and Jan D.!  And to any other
noters out there, please send mail.  I'd like to meet you, as well!

My brother will be travelling in the U.S. in May and June of this year, and
would be happy to meet some residents of the States he will be going through.
He is not looking for free lodgings - though I guess he wouldn't refuse them -
rather for the pleasure of meeting new people in a foreign country, as well as
any hints or tips about the places he'll be visiting. Though this is his first
trip to the States, his English is fluent from many vacation spent with our 
English cousins and reading lots of SF books. He is financing this trip himself
so suggestions like "try the Presidential Suite of the Boogaloop Hilton in 
Santa Barbara" wouldn't be a great help!

A little background: Francois is 22 years old, he graduated this winter from 
the Swiss Polytechnical School as an Engineer in "Materials" - I don't know the 
English translation for that, but it's basically the study of new materials for
use in the industry. He doesn't smoke, drink or take drugs. He is a science- 
fiction & role- & fantasy-games playing nut, ahem, I mean fan. He has written
his own game, and publishes a small role-games-related newspaper. HOWEVER, for 
those of you who couldn't care less about this sort of things, he is perfectly 
able to have a "normal" conversation! As I said I'd give him my note to read, I 
really don't want to heap compliments on him, but I do consider him a fair spe- 
cimen of what good education applied to a reasonable brain can produce...

Approx dates are: 

Week 7 May  - Philadelphia (he'll be visiting the University of Pensylvania, 
			    where studies similar to his own are conducted)
14-18 May   - Washington, D.C.
19-20 May   - New York (already has a contact)
21-23 May   - Salt Lake City
24-30 May   - Yellowstone Park (wants to visit by himself, but any info will 
				be appreciated)
31/5-4 June - Las Vegas
 5- 8 June  - Los Angeles
 8-12 June  - San Francisco
12-16 June  - New Orleans
16-26 June  - Florida
26/6-3 July - Atlanta for the "Origins" Game Convention

I plan to cross-post this note to the SF notesfile, and if they exist (and I 
have the time to look for them) in the "local" notefiles. I'll forward any 
inquiry/suggestion/offer to my brother.

Thanks a LOT in advance.

    May I recommend putting this into the Fantasy Roleplaying notefile,
    ERIS::FRP?

    Good grief!  He's coming to Salt Lake?  I'll be most happy to share
    the floor of the family abode (unless he prefers the sofa) for his
    sleeping bag.  We'd be happy to show him around, so let me know,
    okay?
    
    My DTN is 544-3179, or for an outside line try (801) 565-3179.

    I'd be happy to have him drop in, and we can probably give him tips
    about things to do in the area, but we probably don't have time to
    entertain him much personally. I'm an avid reader of SF myself, and am an
    FRPer, so we should be able to talk about some things.
    
    one thing for sure though - He MUST visit the Exploratorium in San
    Fransisco. What a WONDERFUL science museum - almost all of the exhibits are
    "hands on" and the people are VERY helpful and friendly. He should also
    visit Yosemite if he can.

    Thanks for your offers and suggestions up to now! I wish it were me...
    
    I'll answer everybody by mail, to avoid cluttering the file.
