Executive Update for August, 2005. Posted by Lindsay Perigo
on 9/01, 3:24am
I’m doing the update this month, ‘cos Joe is exhausted from his new day-job. I’m assured he’ll be able to afford the very best rest home! Growth has proceeded apace since the last update, with 120 new members, 42 new Extended Profiles, and 9 new authors. During this time SOLO received dishonorable mentio... (Read more...)
The Free Radical # 67 has hit the streets. And the streets will never be the same! Never have the punters been presented with such a glowing example of KASS activism and abstract theorising being so effectively harmonised. Never in the field of human polemics has such a malignant dichotomy (theory/practice) been dealt ... (Read more...)
My quest for a new editor ended almost as soon as it had begun. I'm delighted to welcome Andrew Bissell to the position. Andrew is an economics student, but I'm prepared to overlook that on this occasion. I met him at TOC-Vancouver in 2004; in fact, he even had a small part to play in my presentation (which he managed ... (Read more...)
Just to formalise what most of you already know—I have resumed editor's duties in the wake of Jason's departure over the Elmore issue. Like all such departures, this was unsought and unnecessary, and, I hope, will be reconsidered soon enough. In the meantime, I shall act as editor until someone else suitable steps up (...

I'm couldn't be more delighted to announce a new feature here on SOLOHQ—Holding Court, a weekly column in which Barbara Branden responds to your questions. Barbara has more to say about this in her article below. All I would like to add is my hope that you'll ensure Majesty has no shortage of questions to answer, and t... (Read more...)
The next FreeRad, due on June 1, has been postponed till July 1 because of the disruption to my schedule in the wake of SOLOC 4. This means that anyone wishing to submit an article now has until June 1 to get it to me. SOLOC 4 will feature prominently in the issue, which will include a selection from the apparently inc...

SOLOC 4 attendees - please submit your comments about your experiences (!) on this thread, for the edification of everyone here & for inclusion in a FreeRad feature. I'll be adding my own when I get home (posting this from James'). For now, let me just say that to call it a "blast" would be an horrendous understatement... (Read more...)
Pikers - Redeem Yourselves! Posted by Lindsay Perigo

How to be a piker from SOLOC 4 & avoid the lowest rung of hell! If you're one of those otherwise irredeemable whim-worshipping subjectivist intrinsicist dogmatist altruist collectivist headbanging caterwauling mystic Saddamite Newberry groupies who've failed to register for SOLOC 4, here's your one way to shorten your ...

Last Orders, Folks! Posted by Lindsay Perigo

SOLOC 4 begins Friday, April 22. All rooms in the house we have rented are booked. Other attendees are staying at nearby dosshouses. Now, I shall say this once only. Anyone planning on gatecrashing & not paying, on the grounds that they're just "dropping by" (not that any SOLOists would try pulling a stunt like... (Read more...)
If You Miss SOLOC 4 You're A Boor And A Bore! Posted by Lindsay Perigo on 2/26, 8:33pm
At last, the opportunity to put faces to NEMs. And to discover first-hand the answers to questions you've always wanted to ask but were too afraid to. Does Barbara Branden really wear a tiara? Does James Kilbourne wear a bigger one? Is Lindsay Perigo really a werewolf? Does Joe Rowlands really eat vegetarians for break... (Read more...)
Next Free Radical & Other Stuff Posted by Lindsay Perigo on 11/19/2004, 12:16am
Recently I fired the distributors of 'The Free Radical,' Gordon & Gotch, for ongoing, terminal incompetence. I simply got sick of receiving e-mails from folk asking where their copies were & being lied to about this when referring it G & G. I got sick of dealing with airheads who, I imagine, chewed gum & addled their a... (Read more...)
Listen Up! Posted by Lindsay Perigo on 9/08/2004, 2:13am
I *could* have posted this as Editor, but noted that the Exec Dir has given me the option of addressing you as He Who Must Be Obeyed!! :-) And this is a *very* important announcement! Actually, I just want to alert you all to the fact that I've succeeded in clearing most of the backlog of articles that have bui... (Read more...)
