Hi Ben,

Thanks for the intro.  I've forwarded your message to the whole IMC list
so everyone knows you're coming.

Thanks for all your offers!  Yes, we would love to have you come join us.
Things are really humming here at the IMC.  As I write we are having a new
member orientation with 25 attendees.  Also, I am just now editing an
interview from our reporters in Quebec City calling in updates on the FTAA
protests there.

You can keep track of our activities at urbana.indymedia.org.  In
addition, you can sign yourself up for our list serv by going to
lists.groogroo.org and selecting the IMC lists you would like to be on.

We meet every Sunday at noon.  Let us know when you get in town!

P.S. our tax-exempt status should be in place by the time you get here and
we would love the contribution.
