EFF-Austin benefit after Cory's Book People event on Feb 22

After my event at Austin's Book People on Feb 22, I'll be doing a benefit for EFF-Austin on their location privacy campaign. We did this the last time I came through town and it was tremendous -- come on out!

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

22nd or 27th? Conflicting dates

Yeah. I’m thinking it’s actually the 22nd. Which means I won’t be in Austin too.

WHAT SCHWA CORPORATION PRODUCTS WILL BE SOLD?? MY TRAVEL PLANS DEPEND ON THIS KNOWLEDGE.

February 22 is correct – looking for a correction to pop up Soon. Not only will there be Schwa products, but Schwa instigator Bill Barker designed the flyer! I haven’t seen the goodies to be sold, but I’m told Bill sent over some great leftover Schwa era stuff.

While you’re down there, would you ask EFF-Austin for the 5 dollars they owe me? 19 years ago I went to hear Bruce Sterling speak about the Clipper chip etc. He told us about the work that EFF was doing. (EDIT: He also mentioned bOING bOING as it was then known.) Afterward, he said he could sign up anyone interested, so I gave him 5 bucks, my name, and address. I never heard anything and now I no longer live in the area. (He did keep eyeing me suspiciously, like he thought I was HUAC or some such — I got this treatment from Johnny Rat once, too.)

Much obliged…

I’ve sent a box of most of the stickers that I made, many cards, bookmarks and a few keychains. It sounds like a fun event!

  And many thanks! I’m gonna refresh my collection of Schwa mystery…
