This is the item for telling people about all the *other* wonderful
conferences on Grex. Spring Agora is NOT everything - there are about
ONE HUNDRED other conferences here on Grex, on all sorts of subjects -
books, poetry, cooking, sex, web pages, women, role playing games -
you name it. Type "help conferences" at the Ok: prompt to see the
list, or just check out the ones that are touted in this item.

Come, come, come to the poetry conference! We need new faces and new
verses. It's a nice environment where you can get feedback and
suggestions on your writing. From traditional meter to freeverse,
from rhyme to the slightly prosy, we've got quite a bit of variety.

Join the Science conference. It's the place for all things rooted
in science, mathematics or engineering.

Do you wanna be a slayer? You can stop off at the
science fiction conference to talk about Buffy and many other
fantasical things.

The Steve Conference. It's not just for Steves anymore.

There's a Steve conference?
You know, lately it really does seem like there aren't as many people on Grex
named Steve. Maybe we should recruit more.

Well, although several of Grex's Steves have children, none of them has a
child named Steve. So Steves are failing to reproduce, which indicates
that the Steve boom is inherently temporary. There really isn't anything
to be done about it.

re #4: I thought it was settled in the previous agora that the 'Steve'
conference was going to be the 'perky' conference henceforth..

I was once at a contra dance in Lansing where people wore name tags. There
were 5 or 6 Steves so they started to add numbers after their names. By the
end of the evening at least half the men there had relabelled themselves
Steve.

Please, join us in the Writing Conference, a place to get ideas and
talk with other writers.

The same thing works the other way around, too. I've occasionally had my
danhood revoked for showing up late at a gathering with too many other Dans.

Thankfully it's rare in this country for me to run into someone with
the same first name or even a similar first name.

resp:9 I'm not sure why the writing conf died. It seemed to fade
away in favor of the poetry conference. I would assume the former is
more for prose, but..
hmm.. you should talk to Erinn about that, I guess, Julie.

I'm told that Anna was the most popular girl baby name the year I was born,
but i haven't really met enough others to believe it.

I know a guy named Bjorn. He lives in California though.
I meet people all the time who have Lynn/Lynne as a middle name but I
seldom meet anyone who has Lynn/Lynne as a first name. It isnt even my
first name (although my folks always called me "Lynne" even when I was
little). Most of the people I know who actually use Lynn/Lynne are
people who started using the name as adults because they didnt like
their first name.

Bjorn is a cool name, but it gets me feeling like I should do my
Swedish Chef imitation

I like my first name okay; I'm just easily bored. :)
I rarely meet anyone that can even spell my first or last name, let alone
have teh same one.

Yeah, my name is frequently misspelled although usually with the exact
same letters..i.e. Lynn Freemont instead of Lynne Fremont *shrug*
