Also OT: Heinlein Centennial 7/7/7

[Fairlight]

At Tue, Jan 30, 2007 at 12:52:24PM -0500 or thereabouts, 
suspect Jay Ashworth was observed uttering:
> I know there are a fair number of science-fiction readers on this list.

Yup.  :)

> Are you all aware -- assuming you give a damn :-) -- of the scheduled
> Heinlein Centennial convention in Kansas City MO (of course) in July?

Gah.  I don't do cons.  Not even for my beloved Stargate.  The closest I
came was going to see James when it coincided with a concert out of town,
and I had to 86 that plan due to health.

I just can't see myself hitting a convention, honestly.  I don't even like
95% of the fans in the SF-oriented USENET groups--I sure as hell don't
want to meet them in person.  I've never done a linux convention, either,
and not for lack of invitations.  Just zero desire here to be a part of
that kind of event.  I kind of hate crowds, too.  I don't even like going
to Wal*Mart unless it's between 12-5am, for Pete's sake!  The only thing
I'll put up with a huge crowd for -is- a concert, actually.

> I'm making plans to be there; if anyone else goes, let me know, and
> perhaps we can BOF.

I like you well enough, but...I'm sorry, I'm not boffing you.

PS - Interesting date.  Wonder what the "Christian" numerologists will say
happens on that day.  I've seen very odd attributions put to the number
777.
