- Avenue (one block east of 1st Avenue, 0 blocks west of East
- River). Signs will be posted directing you to the registration
- desk. The opening session will be in room C215, second floor.
-
- By car, take the 63rd Street or the 71st Street exit from
- the FDR Drive. There are public parking lots on nearby side
- streets. On-street parking may be available, but please read
- signs carefully; fines for illegal parking range from $50 up.

- [ Not from the advance program, just a few notes from the poster of this
- article. ]
-
- There will be, eventually, proceedings; with luck, evantually
- will be the 23rd, but no guarantee. Also, there will be some
- software connected with presentations but again, no guarantee
- it will be available on site. (For instance,I'm bringing the s/w
- connected with my presentation, and if duplication facilities are
- available, you're welcome to a copy.)
-
- The business about illegal parking is for real and the fines are
- not the worst of it; towing is not unheard of (you don't want
- this to happen, as there are large towing and impound fees in
- addition to the fine, plus it will take a couple of hours to
- reclaim your car). Read signs carefully, and if there's any
- ambiguity or uncertainty, FIND ANOTHER PLACE TO PARK. I live
- close enough to take public transportation, which is how I'm
- coming; I recommend it if it's at all feasible. Welcome to
- New York.
