Yes, USITT is a technical theatre conference and the EXPO floor is the trade show portion of it. ETC usually has a fairly large display.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: San Francisco, May 19-21, 2006! Everything else, go here! Swag!
Got it. aurelia, let me know if you need anything, I'm pretty sure I know the right people to ask for things like passes.
I think you can do it (travel to Canada) with a voter's registration card -- because it proves that you are a citizen.
The state department website recommends a valid photo ID + Birth Certificate or naturalization certificate or Expired Passport.
They might let you into Canada with just a driver's license. Last time I drove there (spring '02) that's all they checked, even though I had heard they'd want a birth certificate. But what they check can vary over time, with the threat level, etc., so you should check to see what they're doing now.
So I guess what I'm saying is that I don't know. No one knows. Anything could happen. They might let you cross with only a live chicken.
eta: Or what ND said....
Can I come? It looks like Atlanta fell through for me
Whoot! I mean, sad about Atlanta, but....Maria! Whoot!
Yeah, the passport/birth cert is much less of an issue if you're driving than flying.
Driving into Canada is easy, it's getting back into the States that's hard. When I was a kid, we only ever needed drivers' licenses, but these days, they ask for passports.
So, LAistas, JZ and I are coming down your way this weekend.
The reading at Vroman's is on Saturday, at 4pm. Might be fun to do lunc/brunch before-hand. I'm pretty sure there will be drinking after-hand.
I won't hold it against you if you don't want to go to the reading - but it should be fun. There will be music and a variety of readers and it should move pretty quickly. We had a good time in Chicago.
We're staying with Lee (on the west side), but the reading is in Pasadena (other side). I'm pretty flexible. But check your calendars and see if you are available for fun.
Hec, I just mailed JZ directions.
I'll be at the reading, and up for stuff on Saturday before or after, or both.
