Nimbus 2005 in Ottawa, Canada

[Kaisenji]

Hi all this is propably my first time posting but here goes.
Ottawa?!? As my mom quiped "Get ready to shell out serious $$$$$$$ in
Canada."  Am I gonna need to take out a loan to go for just 3 days?? Argh!
Kidding! I'm kidding! No slams against our Canadian potter people.  As
someone who is "frugal" most of the time, this seems to place so many
people outside of affortability. But it is early still so maybe they
got a smashing deal (crosses fingers).  Or have I been that long out
of the loop thanks to two classes requiring LOTS of reading?
Thoughts?

p.s.  Oooooo, I'd just love to do a paper on Potter!

Here's the note if folks didn't get it:
Posted 10/19/03
The Convention Alley Planning Committee is pleased to announce the
release of the Call for Papers (CFP) for our HPfGU-sponsored
international Harry Potter conference to be held July 30-August 1,
2004 at the University of Ottawa. The text of the CFP follows this
introduction, and may also be found as both a text file and in Word
in the files section of this list.

While we welcome submissions by members of the professional and
academic communities, we strongly encourage members of the fandom
community to participate. That means we are looking for submissions
from *you*, the die-hard fan who can recite the Harry Potter books
verbatim, who knows the content of every JKR interview ever given!
The topic areas noted in the CFP are merely suggestions � we are open
to proposals on any and all facets of the Harry Potter fandom.

Proposals may take the form of a 500 word abstract or a completed
conference paper (approximately 5-7 pages). Please note that
proposals submitted via regular mail must be postmarked no later than
January 3, 2004, and proposals submitted electronically must be
received by January 17, 2004.

Please read the CFP carefully to note all of the particulars. We are
looking forward to receiving your submissions!
