I hate to be picky ("er, no, you don't, Ellen" ...), but it's not
"Clarion East", just "Clarion."  The non-West Clarion was the
original, you see.  It was held in Clarion, Pennsylvania, until a
certain incident involving Gardner Dozois and a virgin sacrifice
caused the brass at Clarion College to dissociate themselves.  Now
it's at Michigan State, in East Lansing, Michigan.

Clarion has had, in years past, a reputation as being very tough; the
West Coast "Clarion Lite" is supposed to lack the boot-camp feel which 
the eastern crowd thinks produces Real Writers.  Since I've had two
friends attend Clarion and none Clarion West, I am no doubt getting a
totally unbiased view :).  Nonetheless, one of these years I may take
some time off and apply to the original Clarion.

(If no one else posts an address in the next couple of days, I'll dig
it up myself.)
