    If you are looking for something fum to do Sunday night at the Academy
    meeting, why not join the memebers of the Conflict Management Division for
    an evening of great food and music at Buddy Guy's club, "Legends", a
    world-renowned blues club located near the conference site in the heart of
    Chicago.

    A legend himself, Buddy Guy founded "Legends" in 1989, quickly developing a
    reputation as the nation's premier blues nightclub. Not only has Buddy
    sold out the house every year, but so have Koko Taylor, The Fabulous
    Thunderbirds, Van Morrison, Willie Dixon, Albert Collins, David Bowie, Lou
    Rawls, Dr. John, and Greg Allman. As a blues club, Legends is distinguished
    for it's innovative scheduling of local, national, and international blues
    musicians.

    Our evening will begin with a cash bar at 6:00 and a cajun-style soul food
    buffet starting at 7:00. While feasting on BBQ chicken, garlic mashed
    potatoes, collard greens, cajun cole slaw, cornbread and tossed salad, we
    will be entertained by an outstanding local acoustic blues band. Vegetarian
    options are available, please call Martin Davidson (804/924-4483) or Debra
    Connelley (716/645-2235) for more information. Since Sunday night is
    traditionally a slow one at the academy, you might want to stick around for
    a while to hear their feature show at 9. Who knows, Eric Clapton might even
    drop by (this sort of thing really does happen at Buddy Guy's!)

    The cost is only $40, but you must pre-register by sending your
    check to Debra Connelley, 270 Jacobs Management Center, State University of
    New York at Buffalo, Buffalo, New York 14260. Please make the checks
    payable to Conflict Management Division.
