You've got $3 million in your pocket & 3 days left to live...what do you do?
Yesterday I would've spent $3 million to rescue a burrito (see tip jar). I think how I'd react to learning I only had a few days left would depend on how empty my tummy was. Right now I think I'd go on the search for the burrito perfecto.
What about you...what would you do?
Tick-tock, baby, tick-tock
• Do you tell people?
"Heh, I've got some good news & I got some bad news...."
• Do you go for the noble?
"I'll be at the soup-kitchen thinking about the problems of others."
• Do you go for the ignoble?
"No, I said I wanted the the big blue pill, & 3 of the red ones."
• Do you grab some brew & party like it's 1999?
"One bourbon, one scotch, & one beer!"
• Do you finally clean up the garden?
"No mercy now for the weeds. I'm not going down alone!"
• Do you grab a book & try to lose yourself in it?
"Where's that Bible I saw around here 20 years ago? Oh, & the Rigveda."
• Do you write your memoir?
"...And then I fell off my tricycle. Everyone laughed. The road back was brutal"
• Do you stay at home?
"If i leave something bad might happen early!"
• Do you travel to where you've always wanted to go or return to?
"One-way ticket to the Amazon, please."
• Do you try to spend the remaining time with loved ones?
"Son, can you ignore your friends for the next 3 days?"
• Do you curl up in a ball & freak out?
"Nooooo."
• Do you pretend nothing has changed?
"Hmmm, and then in 3 weeks I'll decide if I want to switch to Comcast."
The clock is ticking...what do you do?

Let's build communities!
Every region needs a meatspace community like SFKossacks.
We take care of each other in real life.

• NN13 SCHEDULE OVERVIEW (Refresh page daily)
• CHRONOLOGICAL DETAILED SCHEDULE (Refresh page daily)
These tables have been organized for our groups to connect during NN13 in the plenary sessions. This is where the opening and closing keynotes take place along with many noon-time-speaking events. Box lunches are sometimes provided and it's great to have a place reserved with familiar faces. If you're attending you're invited to start a table or sit at any of the established ones. Just let me know in the comments or send me a Kosmail. Please note: This is not assigned seating. You may sit at any of the reserved tables at any time. I plan to move around and mingle. There will be over 2500 people there so being able to find each other is nice.

Latest diary: Dawn Chorus: Meet the locals!
"At Netroots Nation, we will try to introduce you to as many of them as possible. There will be an "official" birding trip on Sunday after things wrap up at the convention, but I'm up for early morning and lunchtime quick trips whenever it works. There's a lot to see within minutes of the convention center. Any local Kossacks who aren't able to attend NN13 are still welcome to join in any walks or trips - Kosmail me." [lineatus]
