Welcome home to everyone who joined us in Toronto these last few days! I heard a few criticisms, but most people seem to have had a lovely (if exhausting) time and left with a head full of scholarly ideas, new friendships formed, and old friendships reinvigorated. I'm always interested in feedback on the conferences, so please post your thoughts to the list or email me offlist if you prefer. It's a tremendous pleasure to announce that next year's conference will be held at the University of Sussex from Sunday September 19 - Wednesday September 22, 2004. The conference chair will be Kate O'Riordan who has already been busy making plans for our arrival. We're excited to be able to meet on the other side of the Atlantic again, and hope this will make it easier for many of you to join us. I hope you will all consider contributing to next year's conference by spreading the word, revieiwing submissions, fund raising, or whatever else it is that you have to offer. We will soon be re-starting air-meet for anyone who wants to pitch in on discussion of conference planning. A Call For Papers will be forthcoming in the next couple of months so start forumulating ideas! I hope we'll see you there!
