As you may recall, I had a party around the time of my birthday last
year. If were there, along with Jane Anderson, Jeanine Barnard, Chris
Becker, Tina Blaine, Bob & Sharon Bralove, Stewart Brand, Bob
Britton, Katy Butler, Loren & Rachael Carpenter, Patti Clemens, Tex
Coate, Fred Davis, Sarah Drew, Raymond Drewry, Esther Dyson, Mary
Eisenhart, Lee Felsenstein, Cliff Figallo, Heidi Foley, David Gans,
Carolyn Garcia, Brigitte Gassee, Jean-Louis Gassee, John Gilmore, Nat
Goldhaber, Wavy Gravy, Debbie Harlow, Jane Hirshfeld, Dr. Bates
Huffaker, Tom Jennings, Martina Johnson, Mitch Kapor, Michael Katz,
Kevin Kelly, Dan Kottke, Steve Kromer, Kristin Kueter, Jaron Lanier,
Dan Lavin, David Levitt, Jon McIntire, Julia Menapace, Jane Metcalfe,
Jas Morgan, Queen Mu, Bart Nagel, Ted Nelson, Candace Pacheco, Mark
Pauline, Sylvia Paull, Patty Phelen, Tina Phelps, Howard Rheingold,
Annika Rogers, Cat Romance, Louis Rossetto, Dan Ruby, Rudy Rucker,
Goldie Rush, Gabi Schindler, R.U. Sirius, Greg Stikeleather, Beau
Takahara, Rob Tow, Gerard van der Leun, and a whole bunch of other
interesting friends I'd never met before, you may remember we had a
pretty swell time. Somehow, the police never came, but most everybody
who did show up wanted to do it again. So we will.
This year, I've merged celebrations with tireless fun-lover Andrew
Stone (whose Albuquerque software company, Stone Design, is
introducing some terrific NeXT rendering software at this year's
Seybold Conference). He is graciously footing the bill while I, along
with veteran ravesters Brian Hughes and Patti Clemens, have been
assembling the talent.
Of course, the real talent at any good party is on the guest list.
So, I'm inviting all the above folks who showed such getting-down
aptitude last year, as well as some other interesting friends who,
for one reason or another, couldn't make it to that one. People like
Arthur Abraham, Colleen Barton, Steve Beck, Russell Brand, Galen
Brandt, Jon Carroll, Denise Caruso, Verlin Chalmers, George Coates,
Dan & Camilla Cochran, Coco & Peter Conn, Peter Coyote, Howard
Danchik, John Dvorak, Scott Fisher, Janey Fritsche, Glenn & Icahn
Forrester, Jerry Garcia, John Gage, Simson L. Garfinkel, Bruno
George, Marilyn Goldhaber, Eric Gullichsen, Pat Gelband, Mickey Hart,
Trip and Diana Hawkins, Joichi Ito, Mimi Ito, Steve Jobs, Scott
Knaster, Bruce Katz, Brenda Laurel, Cassidy Law, Eileen Law, Piers
Lawrence, Timothy Leary, Willie Legate, Jill & Phil Lesh, David &
Ruth Ann Liddell, Gilman Louie, Steve Marcus, Bill Mandel, Regis
McKenna, Terence McKenna, Cat McLean, Menno Mejes, Linda Murmann,
Lisa Mydland, David Nagel, Michael Naimark, David & Maruska Nelson,
Jay Ogilvy, Tom Paddock, Wendy Peterson, Harry Popick, Stefanie
Pleet, Danny Rifkin, Ron Reisman, Sally Rosenthal, Paul Saffo, John
Sculley, Nancy Schwiekart, Rusty Schwiekart, Cameron Sears, Gerald
Seagraves, Jonathan Seybold, Ramrod & Frances Shurtleff, Owlsley
Stanley, Sue Stallcup, Nichole Stenger, Cliff Stoll, Larry Tesler,
Bobby Weir, John Werner, and Steve Wozniak.
And I expect there will also be a black-clad network of NeXT jackers
on hand. If you're not one of these, I'm sure you'll find them a
pretty sharp bunch...kind of like UNIX weenies by Armani. We know
it's short notice and a weeknight besides, but if this looks like
good company to you, we hope you'll turn up and be good company
yourself. (And bring some with you, if you like. We're particularly
interested in people with an expanded sense of the possible.) Hope to
see you there!
