Music Theory Midwest

1998 Ninth Annual Conference
University of Louisville
15-16 May 1998 - Louisville, KY

Accommodations

You may choose from a variety of housing options, including inexpensive on-campus accommodations, moderately-priced rooms in the Holiday Inn downtown, well-appointed Executive Suites (for those who need fax connections and whirlpools in their rooms), and charming bed-and-breakfast inns in Old Louisville. All housing arrangements are to be made directly with the housing provider. All these choices are within a 10 minute drive of the campus. Ask the housing provider for specific directions.

On-campus
Several dorm rooms have been reserved for MTMW attendees. (The semester will be long over by this time so it should not be noisy.) These rooms include linen service but no toiletries. Check-in begins at noon on the 15th, check-out time is no later than 11 a.m. (Be sure to check out in person so you get your copy of the receipt acknowledging you have returned the key--the lost key charge is $35!) You must pay a non-refundable deposit of one night's stay with your reservation form; make your check or money order out to the University of Louisville. Mail the enclosed form to Eddie Howard at the address on the form, and mark your envelope: RE: MTMW. He will send you a confirmation of your reservation around 4 May.

Rates: $19 single, $14 double.
Postmark deadline for reservations: 25 April

Days Inn (I-65 at Exit 134)
This motel is adjacent to I-65 a few blocks from the UofL campus (through a light industrial neighborhood--not recommended for nocturnal walks). The location does not demonstrate Louisville's charm, but would be an acceptable place to spend the night. They offer no smoking rooms and a continental breakfast. No shuttle service is available. They will hold rooms at this rate until 28 April.

Rate: $45 for single or double

Holiday Inn (120 W. Broadway)
This comfortable downtown hotel offers airport transportation and a fitness center. The conference site is a short drive or busride away.

Rooms will be held until 1 May.

Rate: $55/single 65/double

Executive Suites (I-65 at Exit 134)
This hotel is located across the street from the Days Inn and next to a public storage facility. The hotel offers shuttle , a continental breakfast, an exercise room, and fax/modem connections in every room. Ask for a room with a jacuzzi. Reserve by 16 April.

Bed-and-Breakfasts
Old Louisville is home for many B&Bs, and several of these are offering special rates for MTMW attendees. These inns are located in restored turn-of-the-century homes and will give you a chance to see a neighborhood in the revitalization process (besides providing you with a first-class breakfast!). These rooms are not being reserved for MTMW, so make your reservations soon to ensure their availability. Ask the innkeeper for the Music Theory Midwest/UofL conference rate. Transportation is not provided, but a cab ride to/from the airport should be in the $8 range.
