X-Message-Number: 29021 From: Kennita Watson <> Subject: Preliminary schedule for FDGD 2007 -- call for advice Date: Thu, 25 Jan 2007 16:52:05 -0800 Hi everybody -- Here's the preliminary schedule for the 2007 Frozen Dead Guy Days. I have a video/presentation, "Real Cryonics", scheduled for five time slots. I'm open to a different name for my slot if you can think of a catchier one. Also, I'd originally thought of having one slot Friday evening and two on Sunday, instead of three on Sunday, but this may be better because people probably will be too much in party mode Friday night. Any thoughts? Live long and prosper, Kennita (Sorry about the formatting -- this is what I got from text extraction from PDF.)
