Re:Dragon*Con 2005? Hotlanta
Actually heading down to the Pour House on Bolyston after work this evening for free apps and beveys.
Oh my that brings up memories, they still have that place open? No, the Pour House is an institution for college students, on Boylston right?

Really? i don’t read Philip K, my bro does and loves him. I’ve seen the adapted movies however. May be after Faust, Doestevsky’s Crime and Punishment and may be Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina I’ll sneak that in. I’m into Russian writers now “shrugs”

I bet! To be honest the time has come for new ideas of spirituality and no better genre than sci-fi fantasy. I commend you for that. I try to sneak some beliefs in my own but you really have to be careful to leave it open for all, or you look preachy and I’ve been accused of that. i
t’s just that i have a restlessness, and a need to speed up the process of getting ideas out there and discussed and haggled over. Get in into the collective, or actually point it out or dig it up so it’s not so buried. Do you understand what i mean?
Much of what we experience, though new to our lifetime THIS time around is something we have done time and time again. Someone told me that we get some of the horrors in our lives because not only can we handle them, we HAVE handled them in the past and we are here to show them how it’s done to get through it.
Have fun to night (everybody wang chung tonight)
