Notes for Sunday, 25 August 2013

1. Bubonicon
   
   
1. Kinda wanted to go to Bubonicon 45 this weekend, but couldn't bring myself to do it. I just wasn't sufficiently motivated. There were only a couple of panels that sounded even remotely interesting – I'm not going to blow ∅45-50 for one or two panels. Maybe they can make video recordings of them and post those recordings to YouTube?
   
   
2. Bubonicon 46
   
   
   1. Would like to do something like a suite for the Libertarian Futurist Society
      
      
      1. Topics
         
         
         1. What role should politics have in science fiction?
            
            
         2. What role should science fiction have in politics?
            
            
         3. Trends in science fiction, publishing, etc., in regards to libertarian science fiction
            
            
      2. Record any panels for YouTube, etc. Same sort of rules as for monthly ABQ Liberty Forums at Frontier.
         
         
      3. Relevant links –

         2. Libertarian Futurist Society
2. STAIF-2 2014
   
   
   1. Location – to be determined and announced
      
      
   2. Dates – 15-17 April 2014 (?)
      
      
      1. Week of spring break (11-13 March 2014) would be better. During April, most students and faculty are preparing for finals and end of semester.
         
         
   3. Agenda – to be determined and announced
      
      
   4. Price tag –
      
      
      1. Hopefully NOT ∅300-400 a person as in 2012 and 2013
         
         
         1. ∅300-400 per person is OK for people on expense accounts (paid for by others – government, military, corporate, university, etc.) or with spare cash to blow.
            
            
         2. ∅100 per person is more like it when the expected attendees are showing up on their own dime. Especially in this lousy economy – ∅300-400 is a bit much even during good times.
            
            
   5. Website – http://staif2.org
      
      
   6. Create Facebook, Google Plus, Twitter and Youtube accounts for STAIF-2 ?
      
      
   7. Reserve blogs at Wordpress and Blogger / Blogspot – staif2.wordpress.com, staif2.blogspot.com ?
      
      
   8. Co-locate at Bubonicon 46 – use a party suite for presentations?
      
      
      1. Would save on expenses, allowing STAIF to cut admission by a factor of 20
         
         
3. LPNM / LPBC
   
   
   1. Start posting to Twitter, Google Plus accounts
