    I have suggested to AWP that some of the many out-of-work MFA graduates, especially those who played football in high school,
    could be hired as bouncers and for crowd control purposes at the conference. They could also set up an interrogation room
    behind the book fair, where unruly gate-crashers could be beaten with copies of The Norton Anthology (not the short edition).

On Friday morning I posted an article at "One Poet's Notes" about AWP being sold 
out and not allowing on-site registration. I insisted AWP needed to amend its 
policy.  As a result, I later received a note from one of the AWP officials 
informing me that they have now decided anyone who has made travel or lodging 
arrangements will quietly be allowed to register if they contact AWP soon. Also, 
anyone who is to be a presenter or to participate in the book fair will still be 
allowed to register. I think they are making other case by case exceptions as 
well. Perhaps this will help someone on the list.  You can pass this information 
along to others if you like.

Happy New Year to all!
