The conference is being held on the Brown University campus in Providence, Rhode Island, March 21-22, 2009. On Friday, March 20th, we will have a more informal meet and greet - plan to arrive early and take a walking tour of the local Lovecraft-related sites. Hotel info is at http://www.conlang.org/lcc3/local.php . LCC3 will feature conference-style presentations, shorter presentations on specific conlangs, panel discussions, workshops, and more, including: - The WORLD PREMIERE showing of a new short film, "Conlang", by Swan Dive Films. - A presentation on Kelen's Ceremonial Interlace Alphabet by Sylvia Sotomayor - A presentation on the practical design of non-linear writing systems by Schuyler Duveen - An introduction to orthography and font creation by David Peterson - An introduction to a tactile language by Sai Emrys and Alex Fink - An introduction to Varkuzan: the language Paul Varkuza named himself after - Donald Boozer's Conlangs exhibit, as it appeared at the Chicago Public Library The creators of the film (from Columbia University), and the creator of the Uscaniv language featured prominently in the film, will be on hand to answer questions and explain what led to its creation. If you'd like to see a five minute teaser they made before major filming began, you can take a look at it on YouTube here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFc3CvMMY48 Or see more films by Swan Dive Films at their website: http://www.swandivefilms.com/ CONLANG RELAY For the second year in a row, we'll be running a relay for LCC3 participants, the results of which will be unveiled live at the conference!

Who will it be? It could be anyone--even YOU (provided you're in attendance)! POSTERS If you are presently planning on attending, or even if you can't attend and have something to share, we wanted to let you know about the poster session going on this year. Conlangers from all over the globe are submitting conlang- related artwork, or sample texts in their orthographies, or other related visual art to display at LCC3. We've got a lot of submissions so far--including Steven Travis's Tapissary exhibit... http://www.tapissary.com/ ...but we're looking for more (we want to cover the walls). If you're interested, contact us, or send us .pdf files and/or snail mail physical documents to us, and we'll display them during LCC3. Got ideas, but aren't sure how to realize them on paper? Let us know! Our email address is lcs@conlang.org. LCC3 is on the horizon! Be sure not to miss out! - Sai Emrys & David Peterson REGISTER & GET MORE INFO AT: http://conlang.org/lcc3/register.php To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to lojban-list-request@lojban.org with the subject unsubscribe, or go to http://www.lojban.org/lsg2/, or if you're really stuck, send mail to secretary@lojban.org for help.
