LOCAL ACCOMMODATION/LOGISTICS
Most daytime events for the E-Poetry 2001 festival will be held at the Buffalo-Niagara Marriott Hotel, 1340 Millersport Highway, Amherst, New York. This location is across the street from the State University of New York at Buffalo's Amherst campus and it has the advantage of being in a small commercial zone loaded with a variety of hotels that are a 2 minute walk from the festival.
Evening readings and receptions will be held in the city of Buffalo; we will try to coordinate transportation via student volunteers, carpools, etc., to get you to Buffalo for evening events.
