Meeting Internet Friends
Ford had a good time with the gang at Tio's and fit right in. tlatoani had a great idea for me: a foundation to help kids from fundamentalist religious families go to accredited schools. Ford says if I start such a foundation, Universism can provide the corporate structure under the Universism charity. It seems like this is the week for meeting people who I've known for years only on the internet! In addition to Ford's visit, this weekend I'll meet Robin Lee Powell and several other speakers of Lojban at their intermittently-annual gathering. I call it "try-annual" because we try to have it annually. Tomorrow morning Bill and I leave for Pennsylvania to attend Philcon, which has set aside a room for Lojban. Bill won't attend Logfest, of course; but he needs a good science fiction convention where he doesn't have to worry about running it. I've made this 11-hour car drive twice all alone, and I'll be very glad to have another driver.
