Paul is forgiven. After he and I briefly discussed the possibility of a
short article for the ATEG Journal on how to get from the NY airports to
Fairfield, I did my own investigating (in order to make my own travel
plans) and discovered that it is actually not that difficult.
Essentially, one takes the Metro North from Grand Central Station to
Fairfield, so the main issue is how to get from your airport (Newark,
JFK, LaGuardia) to Grand Central. If any of you are flying into
Westchester these instructions would not apply exactly, but I have found
in my travels a magic word that works everywhere: ASK.
In most places the airport, subway, train, bus, and cab workers are
helpful, informed, and polite -- even in NY, I suspect. One can ask for
help and find out what one needs to know.
Plus, virtually all of this information is available online, so it is
possible to have a good idea of what you need to do before you get
there. Then, asking for directions is a fairly simple matter.
So, Paul, we'll miss you. And as the thespians say, Break a leg! We'll
hope that everyone finds their way to Fairfield without too much
trouble.

Fellow ATEGgers,
First, I owe Tim Hadley and all of you an apology: I was
supposed to write a brief piece for ATEG Journal on the Connecticut trip
many of you will soon be making. My schedule during this past year was
so full that I never had time to do it (new job, new school, new
curriculum, and two productions contributed to the situation). The
deadline came and went before I realized that I had neglected my duty!
In recompense, if any of you have any questions about travel,
dining, or other nitty-gritty details about Fairfield County, please
drop me a note and I'll get back to you as soon as I can ... this time
without such a long delay.
Tim, I hope you can forgive my laxness!
Second, I will not be able to attend the conference! This is
paradoxical since this is the first conference in my home state;
however, I am in rehearsal for Twelfth Night (Sir Toby Belch) and will
be tied up during the conference. Ironically, the production is
happening at Fairfield Univ. in August, so even though I can't attend
the conference, I'll be nearby rehearsing. If I can get away for any
meaningful length of time, I'd love to stop by and kibitz (if you'll let
me!). If you're planning to hang around long enough or are coming back
to CT in August, please consider attending a performance. We plan to be
wonderful! The production information is at
www.shakespeareventures.com.
Thanks,
Paul D.

Dear ATEGers all,
I hope you're making every effort to attend the ATEG
conference--at
Fairfield University in Connecticut, coming up in just two
weeks--July 14 and 15. (The minicourse meets July 12-13.) It
would
be very special to meet those of you who so far are only names
on
postings, to have faces to go with those familiar names. Those
of us
who call ourselves ATEG regulars always look forward to seeing
old
friends. But believe me when I say that it takes no time at
all for
ATEG newcomers to feel like old friends, too.
And you might give some thought to a New England vacation as
long as
you're in the area. (Jack and I are going to head up to Maine
afterwards.)
For those of you who have already made the decision to attend
and
haven't yet sent in your registration, please do so ASAP. The
mail-in
form is on the ATEG website (www.ateg.org <http://www.ateg.org/>
). You can also register
on-site--but it will help Amy to have fairly accurate
attendance
numbers in her planning for lunches and rooms, so it helps to
let her
know you'll be there.
I look forward to seeing you--old and new friends alike.
Happy travels.
Martha
