RFC 253

Second Network Graphics Meeting Details ✨

okay bestie, the title block first 🎀 This is RFC #253 (NIC #7694), written by James A. Moorer of the Stanford Al Laboratory for the Network Graphics Group, dated 19 October 1971. It's related to RFC #246 and obsoletes nothing. It's giving early internet history, and I'm obsessed 🦋

The Basics 🌸

Stanford is hosting the second network graphics meeting, and it's going to be iconic 👑 Attendees will be staying at the Flamingo Motel in Palo Alto for $8.25 a night. The conference itself is in the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory conference room, and the motel is roughly 2 miles from the lab. 🚗✨

On Monday night, November 22, there's a chinese banquet at the Golden Pavillion restaurent in Los Altos for $7.20 a plate 🥡 Attendees can bring non-network guests too if they want, so bring your plus-ones 💅

How to RSVP 💌

Attendees, please tell Stanford ASAP and include these six things:

1. Your name. 🫶
2. Your affiliation (site). 🏫
3. Whether you need a room. 🛏️
4. Whether you're going to the banquet. 🍜
5. Whether you're renting a car. This is for setting up transportation pools, so carpool babes unite 🚙
6. Whether you're giving a talk, and if so, how long it'll be and what audio-visual devices you'll need 🎤

You can send this info to James Moorer or to the secretaries who know about the conference and will take down your details. The phone number is (405) 321-2300, extension 4971. James will try to get maps out to all the non-resident attendees as they register 🗺️

⚠️ Deadline alert: the latest date to withdraw from banquet and room reservations is November 18. After that, they are considered bound. No take-backs, bestie 😭

The Schedule 🗓️

The conference kicks off at 6:00 PM Pacific time on Sunday, November 21, and wraps up at noon on Tuesday, November 23. Mark your calendars and clear your vibes 🌈✨
