I’m also wondering if there are enough transhumanists at UCLA or USC to put something together. I did email Peter Voss and Louise, and also the Futurist Salon, but I was told no one is doing book events any more. Kifuni is always a great place to link up, but books and food don’t really mix well. Amy Li, on the board of Humanity+, was in LA, but she is now in SV.
