Greetings, Listeras y Listeros -

         a brief update on the Hieroglyphic Workshop coming up this weekend:

             we now have the location, which is Evans Hall room 114

           walk-ins are welcome, but leave sufficient time to find parking 
- Texas State is not the sleepy little college it once may have been - if 
it ever was.

              Kent has asked me to indicate that exact cash and checks are 
accepted, but, sorry, no credit cards (there's a cash machine nearby, I 
believe).

            if you have any questions, feel free to reply to me at this 
email address.

              thanks,

                Peter

             Below I repeat the basic info:




        APOCALYPSE NOW?  No, not till next weekend:


              A 2-day weekend workshop on Maya Hieroglyphic Writing
              Will be presented at Texas State University (formerly 
Southwest Texas State U.)
              by Barbara MacLeod and Peter Keeler

              No previous experience with glyphs is necessary.

              Day one will focus on an introduction to the glyphs,
              with participants breaking into small groups for hands-on 
practice

              Day Two will focus on the much-discussed Maya view of time 
and the universe,
              with Dr. MacLeod presenting new insights and understandings 
on these issues,
              as seen through a reading of glyphic texts.

         DATE: Saturday and Sunday, March 31-April 1, 2007
                     9AM to 5 PM
