[Dixielandjazz] 2005 ARSC Conference

[Dan Augustine]

DJML and others--
     I don't exactly know why i was sent the following message, but i 
figured i'd forward it to others who might be interested.  There are 
a number of intriguing presentations in the program 
(http://www.arsc-audio.org/program2005.html), and the Austin Record 
Convention the same weekend might have some recordings worth buying.

>Greetings friends
>
>As Conference Manager for the Association for Recorded Sound 
>Collections (ARSC), I would like to personally invite you to our 
>2005 Annual Conference to be held March 30-April 2 in Austin, Texas.
>
>This year's conference will be held at the Radisson Hotel on Town 
>Lake, just down the street from the Texas State Capitol and right 
>next to Austin's fabulous entertainment district. A terrific meeting 
>is in the works; full details will be found at the Conference 
>website, www.arsc-audio.org.
>
>The conference officially begins Wednesday night with our Opening 
>Reception at the Radisson. If weather permits, we will be able to 
>view the Congress Avenue Bat Flight from the hotel veranda!
>
>Presentations and Round-Tables will be held Thursday through 
>Saturday. A preliminary program is posted on the conference website, 
>but bear in mind that presentations and time slots are subject to 
>change. If you are interested in a particular presentation and are 
>only planning to attend for one day, please contact Louise Spear 
>(Program Committee Chair) before finalizing your travel plans.
>
>The Exhibit Hall will be open throughout the conference. Here you 
>will be able to enjoy frequent coffee breaks, participate in a 
>fabulous Silent Auction, and visit with publishers, vendors and 
>dealers. Persons, institutions or companies wishing to set up tables 
>in the exhibit hall should fill out and submit the exhibitor's 
>application on the conference website.
>
>David Hunter (Local Arrangements Committee Chair) has arranged 
>Thursday afternoon tours of the Lyndon B. Johnson Presidential 
>Library and the Austin City Limits Studio at KLRU, where we will 
>enjoy another reception!
>
>ARSC's most recent tradition is the annual Record Collectors' 
>Wingding, which will be held on Friday night. Join us as we swap 
>stories and spin records (or will we spin stories and swap records?) 
>Other meetings will also take place during the conference; times and 
>locations will be noted in the Conference Program.
>
>The conference will close on Saturday night with the Awards Banquet. 
>This year, National Public Radio's Kitchen Sisters will delight and 
>entertain us, so be sure to make your banquet reservations early, as 
>demand will be high and seating is limited.
>
>Even though we have a pretty packed schedule, you may want to hang 
>around Sunday to check out the Austin Record Convention. This 
>semi-annual event is billed as the largest record show in the world, 
>and all ARSC registrants will get a complimentary admission good for 
>the entire weekend!
>
>Traveling companions, spouses and ARSC members wishing to relax for 
>a while won't find themselves bored in Austin. Known as the Live 
>Music Capital of the World, the city is replete with aural, visual 
>and gastronomical pleasures. Detailed information can be found on 
>the ARSC conference webpage, and printed information will be 
>included in the conference registration packets.
>
>Many persons are working long and hard to make this a memorable 
>meeting. Don't be left out in the cold - visit www.arsc-audio.org 
>today, and join us deep in the heart of Texas for ARSC's first 
>conference in the Lone Star State!
