Anybody want to go to this today? It has been going on for several
days and has been very entertaining! It is FREE!!
I went for the last two nights and not many BASFA people showed up except
Cheryl Morgan. This is a HUGE opportunity! And it's FREE! I met some
great SF authors is a setting of a small group. I met Greg Bear, Rudy
Rucker, G. David Nordley. Kim Stanley Robinson is going to be
at today's presentation. There were also some very interesting
science presentations from a NASA guy and someone from a Swiss robotics
institute. This is thre last day. I really recommend that you
don't miss this terrific opportunity.
I'd really prefer to carpool with someone, but I don't mind
driving. I'm leaving from south San Jose around 1pm or so.
Call me if you want to carpool (408)360-0669 or after 1pm at
cell(408)386-9800.
