ROFLcon

[topaz]

Jason Scott has roped me into being a last-minute addition to the Usenet panel at  ROFLcon II on Saturday afternoon.

I will be sharing a panel with Jay Furr, Laurence Canter and Brad Templeton.  This promises to be a gas.

What other Usenet luminaries live in the Boston or even greater New England area who might be available to fill a spot on short notice? Anyone know how to get in touch with Kibo?  Jason has been trying without success.

...I'm sorry, my brain just ground to a halt at the concept of somebody *not being able to get in touch with Kibo.* Shouldn't Kibo just walk into a room whenever people say his name?

This makes me strangely sad.

Wait, you know Jason Scott? The world is small.

I take it, Jason has already asked Nick Montfort for participation or pointers to other peeps?

Wait, you know Jason Scott?

Well, I do now!

Technically it was jayfurr who roped me into it. He was already on the panel and pushed Jason into pulling me in as a last-minute substitution.

But I'm delighted to have made his introduction. I've been intrigued by Jason's documentary work for the last few years.

"I will be sharing a panel with Jay Furr, Laurence Canter and Brad Templeton. This promises to be a gas."

Only if you promise to gas all of them. Preferrably mustard gas.

As for Kibo, i don't know whether mmcirvin would know. I'm assuming that Jason already tried kibo@theworld.com.

As for Usenet luminaries in the greater New England area, tale lives in Vermont, last i heard.

He also works a few cubicles down from Tim, and I'm surprised he wasn't mentioned.

I have my own newsgroup, and am feeling strangely unloved at the moment. I'll just bask in the reflected glow of Tim's Geek Code entry.

First thing I did was write to Tale :-) But I suspect he really doesn't want to relive those glory days, much less drive three hours to do it.

Jay says he's on vacation in NC at the moment, so never mind. :)

alt.fan.keyne?

No, alt.sex.bondage.female-admins-nntp. I suspect they broke the 14-character limit just to spite me.

hey now

[sine.livejournal.com]

so you're basically going to sit there and periodically say "no"?

[ronebofh.livejournal.com]

Hahaha.

Plus, through some subtle trickery, he's going to cancel the entire party at the end of the con.

We actually had him do exactly that toward the end of the session when we finally wrested control of the thing away from Brad Templeton and his monologue. :)
