[12:29] <jokeefe> BTW for everyone else, the talk is something like "Making a living with the Internet: Personal stories by creators" [12:30] <SplendidSpoon> How much does she have to know about the Pirate Party beforehand? [12:30] <jokeefe> enough not to go running away screaming :) [12:31] <jokeefe> the talk is more about her personal experiences as a musician with the internet and how it has helped her be a musician and, hopefully, make a living at it [12:32] <jokeefe> if anyone can suggest other speakers, we have only one person who has signed on for now. [12:32] <SplendidSpoon> Amanda Palmer lol [12:33] <SplendidSpoon> I dunno if shes still in Boston tho [12:33] <jokeefe> ah [12:34] <jokeefe> still in state?

[12:42] <SplendidSpoon> I want to [12:42] <SplendidSpoon> But I'm being dragged into chanology by anonymous [12:42] <jokeefe> we could combine them [12:42] <SplendidSpoon> Protest ACTA at the Scientology org? [12:43] <jokeefe> then march around [12:43] <SplendidSpoon> hmmm [12:43] <SplendidSpoon> I guess we are supposed to be at the Org at 2:30, it's in Brookline [12:43] <jokeefe> Ah.
