["tobias c. van Veen" <tobias@techno.ca>]

dear Nettime:

WE NEED YOU.

This 30th of May 2006, we have confirmed a space and time for a flesh
gathering of Nettimers in Montreal, Canada.

The Gathering will officially launch the seventh edition of Montreal's MUTEK
festival [ http://www.mutek.ca ] as well as the second year of the Upgrade
International [ http://www.theupgrade.net ].

WE NEED YOU TO PARTICIPATE.

- talk (we're good at that): speakers & presenters, panelists, ranters,
poets, net.verbiage & word.age, writers ...

- perform: sound, video, dance, code, djs, musicians .. we are technically
prepared.    We hope.

- intervene ... ... ...

Moderator Ted Byfield will be there. We may supply pies for the occasion.
Others will be confirmed shortly.

SEND US YOUR PROPOSALS by POSTING THEM TO THE LIST
    and cc:ing them to: tobias @ techno . ca .

We will try & accomodate as many of you as we can in the space of
approximately 18 hours. We are not here to judge your proposals: there's
been flurries of interest, so now we nominate Nettime to come through with
bodies in attendance. Once we can confirm your particular presence, we can
begin fitting everyone in.


IN THE WORKS : IDEAS ARE CIRCULATING FOR A NETTIME PRINT-ON-DEMAND
PUBLICATION. BUT FIRST WE NEED THE EVENT TO COME TOGETHER.


ALSO, this is a great chance to :

a) see the sites & sounds of Mutek (we are inquiring about receiving limited
festival passes for participants...)
b) see Montreal
c) get away
d) see Canada
e) see North America
f) learn French, drink on a terrasse, enjoy healthy smoke, etc.


yours,

    tobias
