[Exi-bay-announce] May 2-8 @ S.F. Lumiere: Documentary: "The Singing Revolution"

Fri Apr 18 07:36:25 UTC 2008

Hi Kennita,

I read it whenever my Thunderbird count of unread messages goes up.  I 
like the idea of Extropians making it a bigger party, though there is a 
chance I'll go with a Russian immigrant who was a Russian M.D.

Others?
