More Details:
Bring your red wine and start traing for arm-wrestling, because Lindsay Perigo will be attending the SOLO conference in Philadelphia. To take advantage of this new opportunity, I've extended the deadline for early admission to the end of this week.
We have some exciting speakers.
Ashley Frazier is going to give a talk on love, and given her infamous anti-monogamy rhetoric, it's going to be an exciting one!
Michael Newberry is going to discuss the requirements of a complete, fulfilling life, and the role that art plays. Watch him integrate the physical, the intellectual, and the spiritual with a wave of his hands!
Glenn Lamont, the "likable" Benevolence Cop, is going to expand on his article Stylized Life.
He'll also share his vision for promoting this idea in the larger culture.
And Joseph Rowlands will talk about life as a progression and integration, a role that heroes can play in our lives, and recognizing your highest values. Tentatively titled "The Story of Your Life".
The "Young Guns" will give smaller presentations, but just as exciting and fun-filled. Jeff Landauer, master builder of websites, will talk about his strategies to use the internet for world domination (or spreading ideas). Elizabeth Kanabe will also have something interesting to say. And there might be more on the way. If you want to say a few words, write me and let me know.
And yes, Lindsay Perigo will talk. About what you ask? It is my pleasure to announce that he doesn't have a topic yet. That's right! Anything goes! He may talk about how to lose gracefully in an arm-wrestling match. He may talk about the virtues of punk rock and teetotalism. He may just stand before the audience, cursing and shrieking. Find out for yourselves!
