Dear friends,
Most of you have undoubtedly heard of TED or watched the talks online, but do you know about BIL, the quirky, populist option taking place nearby..?
I've created this FB event page to help our fellow BIL organizers promote this "unconference" as they call it ;)
"Open to the public and fully participant powered, BIL features a wild mix of technologists, scientists, artists, and hackers. Join us March 5-6th on the historic Queen Mary, docked in Long Beach. That's right, its almost like Burning Man on a Boat. Expect to hear a lot of Humanity+ topics covered, from Life Extension and Robotics, to DIY biology, the future of the Pharmaceutical Industry, and Open Hardware Hacking. This year, many members of local LA hackerspaces will participate, and you can hear about the exciting technologies being developed by these amazing tinkerers.
Don't miss this fantastic weekend of Minds Set Free!
Sign up now to ensure you are part of the action!"

Also, please consider how very important cash donations are to fuel the passion for Making Things Happen! If you would like to help or think of anyone that may be able to offer support for BIL this year, in any form please do not hesitate to tell me and I'll make the connection.
Hope you can make it!
Ciao!

PS: i know many of you are not in the area or even in the country but as I always say it is easier for me to send this to all. :) Thanks!
