Subject: mla lex & room



hello all--



i'm about to turn off ads-l for 2 months as i'm off to the states

where my e-mail access is not all that hot (if you can believe that).

hope i'll see some of you at ncte, mla, and lsa.



but, before i go, i have 2 queries re: the mla convention in chicago:



(1) is the lexicography group having a session? if so, what day is

it?



(perhaps people there have received the pmla with the schedule in it--

i expect mine to turn up in january.)



(2) does anyone need a roommate in a hotel in chicago? i've not

reserved a room yet, but need to find someone to share expenses

with. (i expect to have a friend with me for the last night only.)



please respond to me directly, as i'll not be getting the list.



thanks,

lynne
