Dear AIR friends: I've been exchange emails with several AIRers about a possible NCA get together. Having just seen each other last month, I'm sure we could not possibly want another bawdy night of drinks, dancing, fine food, and arguments over the difference between the web, new media, internet, cyberspace, etc. New Orleans seems like a quiet town, unlike Maastricht. We'd like to start at Napoleon House, 500 Chartres Street in the French Quarter 9ish on Saturday night. They don't take reservations, so whenever the the departmental parties end we can descend and demand more than carrots and canapés. This is an open invite, so looking forward to seeing people & making new friends. p. Philip N. Howard Assistant Professor Department of Communication University of Washington
