Last year we all met in person at WOC Pasedena. Ya wanna do it again? It was pretty nice to see all your mugs attached to your names, except for the few who got "lost". The 2nd annual CI$ Browsers Brawl will be at the BlackBelt Systems booth on Saturday at 2 PM. Find out if your favorite on line personality looks like they type 🙂

I'll be there representing "Chaocity". (Sharing a booth with MegageM.) I'll try to escape from the booth at that time and drop by.

THIS time we hope to see you 🙂 –Paul < Motorola Inside >

We should all do something conspicuous to identify ourselves… any ideas? -Jonathan

Oh yeah- Most important. Last year we got spare badges and just wrote CI$ and our names. It's not easy getting a blank badge, I hope the same witch isn't there. Scotch tape on the forehead will work for the timid 🙂 I was suprised by how many people stopped me in the aisles and said "Hey- I know who you are". There are a bunch of people reading these forums. –Paul < Motorola Inside >

Jonathan: I'm already conspicuous enough! <grin> Clint <Chaocity>

Anybody here watch Red Dwarf? You could go for a silver "C" on your forehead. ;^)

I have an idea for CI$ recognition at WOC… Does anyone know how to fold a dollar bill into a bow tie? We could all wear one… kinda nerdy, but, what the hay- We all wore them at my brother's batchelor party and … well… that's another story. But they're easy to make, once you know how. If there is any concurrance on this idea, I'll be happy to post instructions. -Steve

Around Commodore, when Henri Rubin headed engineering, all ties were refered to as Zoe's. Henri always wore a bow-tie, and thus demonstrated that he was a BowZoe. Dale Larson – An Amiga Software Engineer with some time on his hands.

I guess the idea doesn't sit well with you. -Steve

Guess that wouldn't work too well with a Canadian dollar. ;^)
#111707From: Stephen SponagleAug 28, 1993 2:11 PM
Aw, c'mon, you wouldn't really be able to spend that Canadian cash at the show anyway. -Steve
#111740From: jeff HolinskiAug 28, 1993 7:12 PM
Steve, You can spend Canadian cash almost anywhere. You just have to bring a lot more. ;^( I think you missed the point though. The reason you can't make a bow tie out of a Canadian dollar is because we use a coin a bit bigger than a quarter. Be worth about the same as a quarter if we don't get a new government soon too. ;^)

I wasn't sure, but I was going to respond that a good set of pliers might still make it work. Maybe wear a couple in your eye sockets, we'll know who you are then. :') -Steve
#111711From: Jonathan BlackwellAug 28, 1993 3:18 PM
I like the idea… I wear a dollar bill every day anyway! -Jonathan
#111799From: Stephen SponagleAug 29, 1993 11:13 AM
The question is: Just how do you wear it? I'll upload some dollar bill folding instructions, soon. But I don't want to be the only fool walking around with one on. Remember Alice's Restaurant? "One person doing it, and they'll take him away. Two people doing it, they'll think they're faggots and take them both away, but three people… can you imagine three people? They'll think its a movement…" -Steve

I wear my dollar ribbon everywhere I go.. Some people call me a ditto head! 🙂 -Jonathan

Yeah… but when the judge – the blind judge – gets a look at the 27 8×10 color glossy… never mind. :^) –Ben …via AutoPilot
#111920From: Michael GerardAug 30, 1993 11:29 AM
And I'll bet they even make you pick up the garbage…
#112042From: Black Belt SystemsAug 31, 1993 1:51 AM
You got it. :^) –Ben …via AutoPilot
#112110From: Mathew MowerAug 31, 1993 2:41 PM
Yeah, but that will be about four or five hours later when Alice….Remember Alice!
#111817From: Jamie LloydAug 29, 1993 2:32 PM
Yeah I've seen Red Dwarf 🙂 great comedy On AutoPilot Over Hong Kong

Anyone who requested a 'yellow ribbon' for the last show should bring it with them…. anyone who wants one, should send me _EMAIL_ with their name and address IMMEDIATELY. These ribbons attach to the back of your badge holder, and are printed in blue ink with "AMIGA FORUMS CIS MEMBER" or something like that.

Sure, I'll try to be there… *** jd
#111545From: Paul ToalAug 26, 1993 4:46 AM
It would be nice to see you in real life John 🙂 –Paul < Motorola Inside >

Don't be looking for a cranky old man… 🙂 (no offense intended to any cranky old men present) *** jd
