Welcome!

Groupoid Fest '98 will be in Tempe on Saturday-Sunday 7-8 November.

Following the tradition of the conference, the travel budget of $0
will be divided equally among the participants.  Please let Quigg know 
of your interest and whether you wish to give a talk (hour or half-hour,
together with title and abstract), as soon as you can. If you are
interested in coming, but don't yet know if you want to talk, tell
Quigg of your interest now, and then email him later when you decide 
whether you want to talk. Similarly, if you want to talk but don't yet 
have a title or abstract, tell Quigg of your desire now, and then email
him later when you have more information.

All talks will be held in room PSA 203 of the Math Building (Bateman 
Physical Sciences Center, A wing), which is on the northeast corner of 
Tyler Mall and Palm Walk. 


For Saturday night,  we have reserved space at the Tombstone Brewery so
we can gather.  You'll be able to order your own food and drinks --- it's 
minimally organized, in keeping with my understanding of the spirit of 
the conference.  The Tombstone Brewery is about 100 yards north of the 
Best Western, on the same side of the street (Scottsdale Road). From 
campus, this is about 1 mile north on Rural Road (the eastern boundary 
of campus), across the bridge over the ``river'', under the freeway bridge, 
and then immediately on the left).  (When Rural Road crosses the river 
it becomes Scottsdale Road.)  Address: 710 E. Gilbert.  Phone: (602) 967-2337.

Lodging

Saturday 7 November is the day of ASU's homecoming game, so hotels were
hard to come by. Our intrepid staff nevertheless found two, unfortunately 
in opposite directions from one another.  

Best Western
670 North Scottsdale Road
Tempe, AZ 85281

phone (602) 784-2233
fax   (602) 784-2299

Ask for the "Groupoid Fest Rate". The Best Western has a free shuttle 
from the airport. But even if you miss that the cab ride is short.

Motel 6
513 West Broadway Road
Tempe, AZ 85282

phone (602) 967-8696

The Motel 6 is a bit farther from the Math Building, but is cheaper.
There is no airport shuttle, but the cab ride is still short.
