Dianne et al.,

The Midwest Conference on Film, Language, and Literature (McFLL) is set
for March 23- 25, 2001 on the campus of Northern Illinois University in
Dekalb.  NIU is about 65 miles West of Chicago on I-88 (about an hour & 10
minute drive).  One may either pre-register or register at the door.

Cheers,

JVK
