Elohimfest 2020?

[Cameraman Jenn]

SRD has a new book coming out this year and so some suggestions have been made to the effect of a possible new E-fest this coming summer. Any thoughts?

I can't this year. Ankle surgery.
The last one never set.
Take lots of pics.

I'm interested, depending on timing, work schedule, etc.

Much as we'd like to see you and Julie again, not as the public health situation there now stands.

Have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don't search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.

Understood. I've no doubt we could do the actual meet-up safely.

However, there are the logistics of getting there, staying there, eating there, getting home to consider. Appreciate the invitation; perhaps another time.

I'm playing the lottery in Hope's
Of winning. Then when covid
Is done I can bring my friends
Here. I miss you guys.

We could hold an Efest in true 2020 fashion and have a Zoom meeting.

Hey, that's not a bad idea. I could even attend. We should use Google Meet instead of Zoom, but apart from that, got my vote.

Also, "E"-fest would have a nice double meaning.

Yes - I'm in favour of this as well! (As an additional event, not a replacement.) That way I could skip out of this one as well (with some relevant tech-deficiency related excuse) and once again avoid any actual face-to-face style encounter that my misanthropic nature so rebels against.



(Got this vision of twenty plus people sitting in their kitchens awkwardly trying to keep themselves looking enthusiastic about "Donaldson's latest" in front of the sterile screes of their gadgets. Taa, but no taa very much!)

Nb. Take absolutely no notice of the above - it definitely wouldn't be like that. It's just me being a miserable c*nt as usual! )

My comic book club has been doing
Monthly zoom meetings since covid.

A Zoom / Meet meeting is a great idea! Count me in. I don't mind when it is - happy to do a graveyard shift if necessary to meet some people here.

Yeah, agreed. Maybe no convenient time, but certainly a time when many could do it.

Also, we could just keep it going across time zones and people can drop in and out as a convenient time for them rolls round.
