A huge fierce green snake could not keep me from this... Matt
Kirschenbaum of the University of Maryland posted this on the Maryland
Institute for Technology in the Humanities (MITH) website:

As part of our work on a project funded by the Library of Congress
dedicated to
Preserving Virtual Worlds (http://www.ndiipp.uiuc.edu/pca/), MITH
will be hosting
a table-read of the original version of ADVENTURE, recently
recovered from backup
tapes at Stanford University. We will read through the complete text
of the game,
and also (geeks that we are) have a look at its FORTRAN source code.

We’re inviting anyone with an interest in gaming, interactive
fiction, or virtual worlds
to join us for an hour or two on Thursday, May 15, at 12:00 noon in
our conference
room (MITH is located on the basement level of McKeldin Library).

Damn. A fierce snake could not, but several hundred miles can. Phooey.

The dreaded beast of Work rears its ugly head to keep me from going.
I'm plenty close by, but for some reason my employers would prefer I
be at my desk in the middle of the day on Thursday. I don't know what
they're thinking.
