An assortment of updates
Matt here. There are a few different topics to cover in this one.
First BNB
We now have rented our first BNB! It’s called Motownbnb. It’s five minutes from our venue, The Congregation Detroit, which I described in a recent newsletter.
It has 7 bedrooms, 2 full kitchens & a kitchenette, 11 beds, and 4 bathrooms on 4 floors. The owner is happy for all of us to be there for an after-party.
There are fully-operational vintage jukeboxes. The basement has a dance floor, a pinball machine, a pool table, and a TV for presenting on.
I’m wondering if what we need is to have a BNB for an afterparty and sleeping in while the house is quiet in the morning, and a different BNB for going to bed early and serving breakfast to the early risers.
David Chapman
I had a call with David Chapman, and he says it’s 10% likely he’ll be at Fluidity Forum, and 90% likely he won’t. He normally has a lot of unpredictable late-breaking demands on his time and attention, and doesn’t expect an exception to that pattern any time soon. This applies in general, and isn’t about Fluidity Forum specifically. I know many of you were as excited to meet him as I was. Maybe we still will! Sadly, all appearances at Fluidity Forum cannot be guaranteed, and are subject to change.
Discord Server
Attendees have been asking to get together online between now and when we gather at Fluidity Forum. So, when you register, you’ll get an invite to our new Discord server. We have a channel to coordinate a group video call every month, a channel to have discussions on the topics in our glossary or anything else that seems relevant, and a channel for sneak peaks of what’s going on as the event comes together. I’m already enjoying the conversations!
More next time. Til then,
