What to see at the summer Usenix conf.?

[Arthur David Olson]

> 1) Go uptown and watch the Baltimore Orioles play (if they are in town)

The division-leading (as I write this) Orioles are indeed in town.

The schedule:

	Tuesday, June 13 at 7:35 PM:  Orioles versus New York (Steinbrenner
		keeps yanking the rug out from under folks which must be why
		they're called) Yankees.  Student Discount night; high school
		and college students may purchase upper reserved seats for
		$3.50.  Tickets available at gate E6, starting 6:05 PM.
	Wednesday, June 14 at 7:35 PM:  Orioles versus New York Yankees.
		Painter's cap night; each adult age 15 and over receives one.
		With any luck they'll feature the new, ornithologically correct
		Orioles bird.
	Thursday, June 15 at 7:35 PM:  Orioles versus New York Yankees.
	Friday, June 16 at 8:05 PM:  Orioles versus 1988 American League
		Champion Oakland Athletics (for which the Silicon Valley
		contingent should feel free to root).  Each adult age 15 and
		over receives a two-and-one-half quart pitcher
		(Ballard or Milacki, take your pick).
	Saturday, June 17 (Icelandic Constitution Day) at 7:35 PM:
		Orioles versus Oakland Athletics.  This is a "Fantastic Fans"
		night, when folks who've signed up with the Baltimore Sun's
		Orioles Fan Club will be out in numbers to take advantage of
		their discount tickets.  A great chance to see the local folk.
	Sunday, June 18 at 1:35 PM:  Orioles versus Oakland Athletics.
		Each adult age 15 and over receives a travel mug; just the
		right last-minute addition to the luggage you've already packed
		for your trip home.

Groups are (of course) welcome, though I don't know if the folks
handling the conference plan to set anything up.  For a group of 40 or more,
they'll put the Usenix name up in lights.
