omigod! I so want to go to iafa.org/!
I'm sure I saw the call for presentations, but since I'm not a submit a presentation kind of person, I probably just ignored it (I will not make this mistake again!). Today, nojojojo posted some wonderful thoughts about Racefail and mentioned the conference, which I looked up and read the tentative program schedule ( Read more... )

I would've loved to, but I'm presenting at a conference around the same time. If you wanna go next year, though, I'd try...

This is the first time I've heard of it, so I don't know what it's like, but I was excited by the fact that this year's focus is race. I'll have to see what next year's focus is.

I think nojojojo might be looking for a roommate. I'm going. Based on some behind the scenes rumbling there may be some...fail in the air. But also some awesomeness and a pool to lounge by.

A topic that needs to be talked about, cool people, and a pool?!? I may have to start beating up some kids for their milk money!

I was including Nalo and Laurence (and you and Nora) in the cool people.
Sunlight? What is this sunlight thing of which you speak? Oh, I remember, that is what the big yellow ball in the sky gives off in May to October, right?
