Okay, things are pretty well set for FeedleCON 2010.  There's a lot of things going on, and I'd like to make sure that everybody has checked the itinerary and is aware of what's going on.  This is also a special invite for those who aren't on Facebook, LiveJournal, or any of the other places I routinely spam this sort of thing: YES YOU ARE INVITED, silly.

Sunday is going to be an interesting day.  Of special importance is the two added events: the ritual by which I will officially (maybe even legally, if I have the paperwork back by then, we'll see!) take on the mantle of my new name.  Later in the evening, we will be having a "wake" for Jiji (Irene) Romero, my recently departed friend, at Kells downtown. 

I would also like to warmly encourage everybody to come to the "Geek Out!" on Saturday.  I know a lot of crazy, inventive, and creative people.. and I'd like to make sure everybody knows exactly how crazy, inventive, and creative all my other friends are!  If you have a project you're working on, even if you don't think it's interesting, bring it to share!  I will be showing off some of my latest projects involving microcontrollers, and hopefully will demo the Cisco videophone I recently acquired.   It will also be a rare opportunity to see me in my Victorian clothing!

Regardless of your interests in the nerdy, everybody loves karaoke.  Saturday night we'll be going to Voicebox up in the NW 23rd neighborhood.  Come see me make a fool of myself by singing Weird Al's lyrics to all the hits you know (and I sadly only know via Weird Al!).

There's lots of other stuff planned as well.  Check out http://con.feedle.net for all the details.  And please RSVP there, or if you're on Facebook you can reply there as well (and let me know your Facebook profile name, and I'll add you!)


I know there's some people I have missed in spamming out invites.  Please feel free to forward this along to any mutual friend you think may have gotten lost in the shuffle.
