Here is our updated accessibility accommodations information including the panels we will have ASL or CART services for. If you have ideas about how we might improve Access Services in 2011, or would like to volunteer to help, we would love to hear from you. Please email access@arisia.org

The tactile tour will be conducted on
Saturday from 5-6 p.m.
We will meett in front of the art show and cotton gloves will be provided for attendees. Artists are also invited to be present in order to give brief descriptions of their work and answer questions.
Note: the non-visually impaired are welcome to participate in this event but people with disabilities will be given priority if the size of the group becomes an issue.

Hotel Room to Share

[mwiscomplicated.livejournal.com]

I have a room with two double beds at the Westin and am looking for one, possibly more, roommate(s).  The room is for Friday, Saturday, & Sunday nights and I am looking for a person (people?) for all three nights.  The total cost of the room is $130/night plus tax (approx 14.5%) plus a small tip for the housekeeper.

I am a male in my 40's.  I have been attending Arisia for 5-6 years and am there both to learn at panels and to have fun socializing, parties, shows etc.  I have lived in the Boston area most of my life and am a great resource of knowledge.  I am a non smoker, do not do any drugs.  I usually will go to bed midnight to 2 AM and get up about 8 hours later.

If you are looking for space and think we would be compatible, please email me (remove the spaces, fix the symbols).  math mw hyphen lj at yahoo
