Dear Compas,
Mansoor in L.A. has been notified that 19 of us are arriving in L.A. on American Airlines flight #1, shortly after noon on Friday. He also has a list of all those who need a place to stay. At this point, you should be contacting him directly with any further concerns. His number is:
310-214-5264
& his e-mail is:
sabbman@usinter.net

He said that if you're planning to stay in someone's house, you should bring a sleeping bag. He's hard to reach by phone but pretty easy to reach by e-mail.
