Butts were covered.  The Board confirmed its unanimous objection
to my appearance at the Frozen Dead Guy Days, citing "long and
bitter experience" which I think doesn't apply, given that they
have no first-hand knowledge of the event and that there has been
no negative fallout to date, despite (checking most recent
statistics) at least 248,176 views of my press releases over the
past three years, and at least 3031 views by consumer/media persons
(details on how these numbers are arrived at available by request),
none of which has resulted in any negative consequences that I've
heard about.  The sky has not indeed fallen -- but I digress.

I respect Alcor's decision to distance itself officially from any
activity it chooses.  Just to make sure the matter is clear to those
who occasionally ask questions like "Can't you get literature (or
other support) from Alcor?", the answer is "No".

Nothing daunted, I will continue to spread pro-cryonics memes when
and where I can -- including but absolutely not limited to the
Frozen Dead Guy Days.  I also present at the science fiction
conventions I attend when I can, and expect to present in other venues
as it becomes feasible (most festivals, conferences, etc. require
participant fees which I haven't so far been able to garner).  Go
Cryo! is not intended to be a single-event organization.

Enough for the moment.  (Just for the moment -- don't get your
hopes up! ;-) ).

Live long and prosper,
Kennita
