Re: Yet Another WCW 2002 Speaker
Have I been counted as one who would like to see a convention out here, near
the extremity? [Berserkely is just up the road from Hayward.]
As BAKA gets some ripples smoothed out (like a web page proudly announcing the
March meeting), I think we probably could do a combined WCW/Convention, very
well.
IMHO, even if attendance might be a little less (and it would not be), AKA has
an obligation to move the convention to within the reach of most members. We
just need more members, and then it will be a big success. :-)

This is just my personal effort to find out how likely people from the east and mid-west are to come. They do make up the bulk of AKA members, even if we do have a strong contingent out here now.

Bush just signed the Civil Liberty Elimination Act (the terrorists'
fondest wish), so:

Anthrax can be spread by explosion from ammonium nitrate and
diesel fuel. Nuclear devices not required. Smallpox is different.
See E-Bay for ceramic knives that don't trigger metal detectors, too.
They are great for stopping hijackers, cold. Don't tell them, OK?
