I'm looking forwards to it - I'll be there on the Saturday. The programme has yet to be finalised but AFAIK Piers Gibbon will be speaking on Saturday and hopefully the Shulgins will be too. Any other 'lithers going?

I'll be taping Piers' talk, so I can provide a transcript of that at least. If I'm able I'll transcribe every talk I attend on the Saturday. I'll also report back on the conference here.

Wish I oculd be there!! It sounds sort of like the Mindstates conference that was in Berkeley a couple of years back; that was one of the best conferences I've ever been to!

Any transcripts anybody can post would be much appreciated.
