Archon, October 1-3, 2010 in St. Louis
by fringe » Tue May 18, 2010 12:31 am
Saturday night at ACen, a group of Chicago-SF peeps informally decided to get a caravan together for Archon (http://www.archonstl.org/34/) in St. Louis October 1-3, 2010. Who's in on going to this fun, if somewhat odd, con?

I'm informally IN for Archon!
Also, Riley - I'm pretty sure Archon was on the calendar before that wedding, man.

Out of curiosity, what is "somewhat odd" about Archon?
"For the Culture to continue without terminal decadence, the point needs to be made, regularly, that its easy hedonism is not some ground-state of nature, but something desirable, assiduously worked for in the past, not necessarily easily attained, and requiring appreciation and maintenance both in the present and the future."
