A few ad-hoc events have popped up on the unofficial SCMS Facebook page: Lori Hitchcock Morimoto wrote Kinema Club ( http://pears.lib.ohio-state.edu/Markus/Welcome.html ) is trying to pull together events on the Japan end of things, including attempts to keep some of the guest speakers. Jayne Fargnoli wrote I am the Film Studies Editor at Blackwell Publishing and I am bound for Tokyo next week. If it helps the cause, please do put out the word that some of us publishers do plan on attending any/all alternative events. Sylvia Chong (UVA) wrote To everyone still planning to go to Tokyo: Here is an Events page that can help us coordinate our activities: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=79114164261 Please post events and info to this page, and invite your colleagues who might still be going to this event. Also, as noted previously: Tara McPherson (USC) wrote The (non)SCMS USC-MacArthur party will still be happening on Sunday from 8-11 at SuperDeluxe. Please post and spread the word! All are welcome. http://www.super-deluxe.com/map/ -- Jeremy Butler www.ScreenLex.org www.ScreenSite.org www.TVCrit.com www.ShotLogger.org www.AllThingsAcoustic.org Professor - TCF Dept. - U Alabama ---- Learn to speak like a film/TV professor!
