'''Overview'''


There's a public school modern dance session with a smart, perceptive teacher. She comes in Sundays and I sat in on a dance class with her. Damn! that chick is so cool. She destroys every negative stereotype about dancers. She was into exploring bones and bone structure in her dance lesson, and was all about body awareness. All the guys in her class were so open-minded and neat. An all male dance troupe of guys that dances totally better than all the women! men putting their bodies on display! the gender bending implications and innovation are endless!

There is an experimental sound meet-up with smart people. They actually hack on stuff instead of just showcasing company's software. Let's see their work!

It will stop being sudo room and become like so many other soulless, empty "tech" events that we encounter in Silicon Valley.''

turning this into a free PR event for a Palo Alto start-up... I've seen this happen a lot. They show up, try to co-opt the excitement, promote their "fitness" start-up,  then vanish later on like a bad one-night stand. Will they still be there tomorrow when we need our wires fixed?

for that and that is corporate trade shows like CES
