I know the feeling, Samantha. The world around me as a child didn't seem to
be where I came from. The feeling lessened slightly when I moved from
England to California, but not by much.
Fortunately, in June a microcosm of that more advanced civilization will
temporarily materialize in San Jose, California. The materialization is
known in advance, and some of us call it "EXTRO-5".
The only obstacle now is overcoming bureaucratic problems in obtaining a
permit for dangerously high concentrations of cognitive and imaginative
energy at the Hilton & Towers. ;-)
Onward!
