X-Message-Number: 29226 From: Kennita Watson <> Subject: Re today's Alcor Board Meeting Date: Sat, 3 Mar 2007 12:43:02 -0800 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! ;-) ).
