Muppets!

Just thought Clevelanders would like to know about this (Muppet events at the CMA this Friday/Sat/Sunday).

Got to see fabulousmisst today, which was indeed fabulous.

Back to the phones.

et tu, Amsterdam?

Apparently I'm in need of fidgety, obsessive little projects. Now that I've finished the basic catalogging of my library, and reorganized all the quick calls in our Helpdesk database, I'm working on consolidating all the email from all my old emails accounts into my current account. Oy. I've cleared out the three that had the least built up. I'm slowly tackling two more that aren't too horrible. And then there's my main old hotmail account. More than a decade of email. And from what I can find, since it's really not in their interests to make it simple for me to abandon their service, there doesn't seem to be a simple way to do this, given that my main account now is also web-based (although if anyone has ideas, I'm certainly open to them!). I've forwarded about a thousand emails so far. I figure I've got at least three times that much left to do. I'm also being extra-obsessive about chronicling what I'm watching recently. I wonder where this is all coming from?

I also made my uber-To Do List today. "Catch up on LJ" is indeed on there.

BECAUSE is Back!

I attended twice, and had a fabulous time; I'm definitely planning on making it this year if life cooperates even a little bit. Anyone else interested or planning to attend? It'd be a nice chance to attach faces to names here and there.

BECAUSE is back!

Bisexual
Empowerment
Conference:
A
Unique
Supportive
Experience!

After 13 consecutive years, from 1992 through 2004, and 3 years off, BECAUSE is coming back. The BECAUSE Conference is the premier weekend for bisexuals, queers, questioning, and all others who are neither one thing nor the other. BECAUSE attracts people from throughout the Midwest and beyond to attend various educational workshops, get active, and generally enjoy the community experience.
As we stand up against labels that the community imposes on us, we challenge you to have No Fear and embrace our theme this year of:
LABEL THIS!

Author and psychologist Ron Fox will be coming from Amsterdam to be Keynote speaker on Friday night. J.Love The Soundsmith will be spinning tunes at the dance party Co-hosted by BOP and the Queer Student Center at the U of M on Saturday night. With a kickoff and finale like these, you won't want to miss a moment in between! Register today for reduced rates! Discounted registration for students!

Date: March 28-30, 2008
Location: Coffman Union, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN
Reduced Rate/Early Registration Deadline: March 1, 2008

We are looking for workshops in a variety of areas including 101, sexuality, BSDM, health, politics, spirituality, and academic topics. Have another idea? Send it in!
