X-Message-Number: 22477 Date: Sun, 07 Sep 2003 04:49:28 +0000 From: Kennita Watson <> Subject: Re: International Cryonics Meetup Day References: <> <> <> Some advantages as I see them. It's international (which INHO is cool), the notice goes out to people who aren't on other mailing lists (maybe more of them if we work on that), it's a fun meeting just for dinner and socializing with like-minded people (shorter and doesn't have a business meeting attached). You seem to think it needs to have a "real" advantage. Gad, what's the "real" advantage of going to movies or parties? It's an opportunity, and if people avail themselves of it, it will have whatever advantage(s) they create (or not). I may just use it as an opportunity to go out to dinner with friends with whom I have a particular thing in common -- who knows? Maybe if you got off your "don't have time" high horse (oops, diplomacy lapse) and went to http://cryonics.meetup.com and signed up, or to http://meetup.com and looked at the info about the concept, and browsed the topics, you'd have a better idea what this is about. I think it's really cool -- YMMV. Hara Ra wrote: > Um, this is in some ways confusing. The Bay Area Cryo group used to meet > monthly, and about 2 years ago changed to a quarterly status.
