The Rialto is named for a marketplace in Venice in the vicinity of the Rialto bridge. As people gathered there to gossip and exchange ideas, so do we gather here.

The Rialto consists of a Usenet newsgroup, (rec.org.sca) which is propagated to thousands of machines world-wide, and an electronic mail digest (the SCA Digest), which is produced on a badly overworked machine at MIT, and mailed directly to hundreds of people, also world-wide. We are also connected to Fidonet and other BBS networks. The Rialto exists to discuss topics of interest to the Society for Creative Anachronism.

Check with your local system administrator or sysop for instructions for your exact machine and software. Generally, you either post a message to the newsgroup rec.org.sca, or send mail to sca@mc.lcs.mit.edu. See elsewhere in this FAQ for guidelines to posting style.

The Rialto is located on the corner of Luckie and Forsyth streets in the historic Fairlie-Poplar district in downtown Atlanta, near Centennial Olympic Park. Detailed directions and a map to the Rialto can be found in our Directions/Parking section.

We have an informal agreement that a piece of netting worn on your person or hanging about your camp indicates you visit the Rialto. Remember there are people that have nets around that do *not* visit here.

Check our directions page, which is a link to a Google Maps interface that will give you precise directions from whatever start address you choose. Or use the handy guide below: From the north, take I-10 to the Congress/Broadway exit downtown, and turn left on Congress/Broadway (which turns into Broadway) at the end of the exit ramp. Look to park after you cross 5th Av. and the Theatre will be one block north of you on Congress Street.

Well, the good news is that you're already on the Rialto Theatre's website, or else you wouldn't be reading this. Unless, of course, a friend printed it out for you or something, but that doesn't even make sense. The Rialto's website is probably the best place to find detailed show information, and you can also purchase tickets directly from here.

This started in late July 2003 when we became aware that our son, Sergeant Brian Horn with the 173rd Airborne Brigade, was still living under extremely harsh conditions. His unit parachuted into Northern Iraq on 26 March 2003 (Brian spent his birthday on that plane) and 5 months later was still sleeping on the ground. We never knew this, it wasn't told to us by Brian or any of his soldiers.

We refer to this radiation as a background because we see it no matter where we look. It clearly doesn't come from any nearby objects, such as stars or clouds within our Galaxy, or even from external galaxies. It is clearly a distant, "background" source of radiation. You can think of the whole Universe as being filled with this background of microwave photons.

The answer is simple: there are about 200 million adult Americans, and we only talk to a few thousand every year. But you should realize by now that if we don't talk to you, we talk to people just like you. Everyone has the same chance of being called, and people who think and live like you will wind up in our survey. And if we do happen to call you in the future, remember that you will represent the people just like you who are not in our sample.
