I've been worried a bit about this since the much-earlier-than-normal date
for SVP was announced.  Sure, we get the abstract volume in the September
issue of JVP, but when was the last time the September issue reached the
mailboxes during September...  (Still, the editors there have done a great
job of catching up form the days when a December issue would show up in
mid-late February).

Can't say for certain, but I would expect (minimally) that those at the
meeting will get a xeroxed copy of the talk titles, times, and places.  As
Jerry points out, though, getting the full abstract list to everyone would
be difficult logistically.

Just make sure you are in the theropod session Saturday morning!

See you in Snowbird!
