    I graduated from UC Santa Cruz. Great school, took a class on Black Sci Fi and a class on video games. Probably would have wanted to go to an event like this, probably would have missed it though to do mushrooms instead

    @DesmondHalongelic: Folks can always do mushrooms and then come to the talk. I'll only be speaking for about 45 minutes, so the shrooms will be kicking in right when I'm concluding.

    Hey, while you're there, be sure to ask Robinson how the hell is dream Martian techno-socialist economy actually works.


    Because I couldn't understand half of it. And the half I *did* understand was laughably ridiculous, like deciding to form an economy with wages determined by horse entrails, or something.

    Excellent. That sounds incredibly interesting and a lot of fun.


    Plus, UC Santa Cruz, that's in or near New York City right?


    Oh, wait. No. It's not. It's not at all. Not even close. In fact, it's all the frickin way across the country.


    *crosses arms in a huff again*

    @92BuickLeSabre: "In or near New York City"? Sounds like you've been reading the Google Maps interface a lot lately. :)

    @Annalee Newitz: Well, I'd rather do something more interesting with my time, like...I don't know, attending a conference on social fiction, maybe, but, you know...
