<u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Some years ago mark Frauenfelder, Carla Sinclaire, Max, and I did a book event at a bookstore in Santa Monica. It was great fun. But, I’ve been out of LA for so long now, that I am out of the loop. I’m wonder if you all have some ideas on who to contact. 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. I’m drawing a blank.<u></u><u></u></p>
