There will be a 2-day conference in commutative algebra at the University of Kentucky, April 12-13, 2003, called the "Bluegrass Algebra Conference". It is in conjunction with the Hayden-Howard Lecture on April 11, which will be given this year by Craig Huneke. (So BACH^2 = Bluegrass Algebra Conference + Hayden-Howard. With Huneke added, it could even be BACH^3.)

The conference is organized by Alberto Corso and Uwe Nagel. For more information, please contact one of them or see the conference web site.
