Cingular/AT&T customers:
Cell service has been out since last night across NY, NJ and PA. I just got off the phone with customer service and they’re issuing % credits (per line) MY GUESS HERE IS IF YOU CALL. (a co-worker got $20, I think I am getting $5-10)
Service is expected to come back slowly over the next 24 hours.

If anyone would like to help my SiL out on a college course and fill out a (VERY SHORT) survey on diversity (by tonight), please email me at my profile addy.
Thanks, everyone who responded! My sister in law waited until the last minute to do this assignment and your responses helped a great deal.

Enjoy!
The SF2F Buffista Swag Store is now open for business. I'd say about 90% of all products have now been added -- if you don't see something you want, let me know in the F2F thread and I'll try to make it happen.
All products have been marked up $1, with proceeds (if they exceed $25, which is the minimum necessary for Cafepress to send me a check) going towards the F2F fundage.
I just stumbled across this:
Seeking Book Donations
The New Orleans Public Library is asking for any and all hardcover and paperback books for people of all ages in an effort to restock the shelves after Katrina. The staff will assess which titles will be designated for its collections. The rest will be distributed to destitute families or sold for library fundraising.
Please send your books to:
Rica A. Trigs, Public Relations, New Orleans Public Library, 219 Loyola Avenue, New Orleans, LA 70112
If you tell the post office that they are for the library in New Orleans,
they will give you the library rate which is slightly less than the book rate.
We are conducting a poll to determine what food will be served at the F2F Prom:
Bear in mind that we will need to spend about $1000 on food (assuming a $500 bar tab) in order to get the suite comped, so there will probably end up being about 8-9 trays of stuff total.
