Lojban In General

Pierre,

There will be a lot of laptops and other computers at the convention,
including a complete computer lounge open to all attendees with
internet access, if that helps.

I'd like to see people bring recording devices and laptops and such
for the express purpose of blogging mercilessly about how much fun
we're having and shaming everyone who doesn't show up.

Oh dear. I'm so desperately out of practice. 0.o

I don't know how to do that at all.

I myself much prefer something like
http://www.lojban.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=Lingo&bl=y and/or
http://www.lojban.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=Zendo+In+Lojban&bl=y

I'll master either of those as much as people want.

I do. I'll try to remember.

I was going to leave that up in the air, but if people want to
arrange something in advance I'm up for it.

I think that the primary Lojbanist location *should* be some kind of
promotional booth, if noise levels (noise we'd make) would be OK.
We can adjourn to the room you have so graciously provided us in the
evening. I think a bunch of people actually sitting around and
playing games with/in the language is the best promotion there is.

I can bring What Is Lojban? copies and buttons, as usual. I have no
skill whatsoever with things like banners, though.

0.o I have no idea whose that was or where it is.

Oof. Not much time for that. You mean
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Call_of_Cthulhu_(film) , yes?

I could try, if someone gives me a transcript.

Nothing you haven't already done comes to mind; you're being totally
awesome as it is.

Robin,

It took a lot of wrangling, but I managed to arrange a Lojban table on
the main concourse.
