Potlatch (attn: Bay Area sf readers)

posted by Zed on February 4 2003 10:17

This Saturday, February 8, is the deadline for advance registration to Potlatch, a small sf convention in San Francisco February 21-23, before the membership price goes up to the at-the-door level.

If you're an sf reader, you should check it out, even, or especially, if you never thought you were interested in cons. Potlatch is a bunch of thoughtful, very intelligent, very well and widely read people talking about books and ideas. See for yourself with these notes on some previous Potlatch discussions.

One event I'm excited about is a panel on "Smart Mobs and Civil Polity," whose ringleader is Cory Doctorow, and which concerns issues discussed in Howard Rheingold's book Smart Mobs, and more. Panelists include sf writer Rudy Rucker, and yours truly.

Hope to see you there!

Have a great time. Tell Rudy Rucker the "Firehead Head" says hi - I know him (very superficially of course) from when I used to publish the Firesign Theatre's newsletter, as he was (and probably still is) a big Firesign fan.
