 Networking
picture I've gotten out of the habit of going to events. It used to be I had something almost every night to go to. But now I'm mostly just sitting here working. I didn't notice I missed the busy networking schedule. Went to a couple of things this evening, which was kind of refreshing. I need to get out more. Went to Frankie Lee Slater's 50 year birthday. Nice ritual, and met some good people, new and old faces.

And I went to Unite the Future, benefit event for Institute for Accelerating Change, held at Applied Effects' warehouse. Mostly aimed at supporting the Accelerating Change Conference coming up in September in Palo Alto, with a bunch of big futurist names. John Smart is the driving force. Anyway, this event was a blast. A wild futurist fetish techno Burning Man kind of thing. Everything from stilt walkers to belly dancers and laser lighted robot fashion. A lot of this curtesy of the Mutaytor troupe. Now, that's the kind of parties I wouldn't mind having. Not that my events are particularly dull.
