CFP: Drink & Drinkers in Lit (UK) (11/15) (fwd)

[Christopher Gonzales]

And jody said our cocktail party lacked cocktails,,, Ha!

Though we seem to be having enough misapprehensions to be a heavy drinking
party,,,

I'll let you know Microsovt has hired me as a metaphor guy to figure out
how to get people to enjoy more drinks at their computers. Change the image
that computers are stiff and functional. Bill said, "Chris, if we could
just make our operating system as popular as TV." I said, "Why don't we
start by making Windows as popular as Vodka?" He said, "Chris, you're
brilliant!" And it all became part of the plan to get your computer out of
your office and into your living room. And then convert your living room
into a Windows TV Room. This year Microsolut will spend a million dollars
convincing people of the joys to be found when you drink and compute. After
you're a little drunk, you'll find it easier making friends with the bugs
in your Windows.

Well, I'm getting ready for the conference. I'd appreciate any and all of
yer suggestions,,,

Love,

Chris
