• Total of $1066 was due by June 1. The application form -- click here -- has the snail mail address (Steve Bergen, 400 East 90th Street, Apt #6F, New York NY 10128) As we wrote in the application, the balance of $733 was due by 6/1/08 "making a total of $1066; I understand that both payments are non-refundable but that in case of cancellation, someone else from my school can attend instead. After 6/01/08, I understand that my spot may be given to someone else or that there will be a $50 late fee." I am sorry that we need to be so diligent on these requirements but we are travelling to Milwaukee and California the second half of June. If you need an extension in terms of the picture, the application or the balance of payment, please send a note via e-mail.
• Completing the application means including the two required paragraphs and sending a picture by e-mail or snail mail (Steve Bergen, 400 East 90th Street, Apt #6F, New York NY 10128). Sorry to hassle some of you regarding the picture, but I am a person who who is learning disabled regarding names and faces. When an actor or actress changes clothes in a movie, I always annoy the person next to me by asking if we have seen that person before! In fact, I have considered a requirement for Summercore where you have to wear the same outfit for all 5 days ;-)
• The homework preparation for Summercore is to pick any 6 of the 16 chapters from The Summercore Primer and read, browse, peruse the excerpts that are posted here ... this is important!
• As you scroll down, you will see the rosters for all four Summercore sessions. Please send to me any typos or mistakes that I have made. We will be using the spelling and details below for printing labels. I apologize for any mistakes and will fix promptly once you let me know. Thanks much! Steve

BTW - You should all have a FirstClass Summercore conference on your desktop, which is where future messages about the workshop will be exclusively housed. So pay attention to the red flags and let me know if you do not see this conference on your FC desktop.
