So, chatting with Carl today brought on a shiny, not so new idea. We need a monthly event calendar that compiles all the conventions, club events and other geek goings on. Part of our problem isn't only loss of communications between the cons and clubs. Large sectors of the clubs don't really talk to each other. The calendar can be posted in an easily found place and emailed to every geek list we can find. People could also subscribe to it solo. This would not only increase inter-club communication... it just may net some recruits for folks.
To make this work; I need every speculative fiction (literature, media, gaming, etc.) fan club and open to the public event to email me their schedules. Right now I have the event listing Debbie posted in my previous blog, the Camarilla, Utah Filk Organization, the 7th Fleet and the Browncoats' CSTS showing. There has got to be more than that. The Alpine Garrison, Rogue Base, Jurassic Park team, RPGA, furries, Fifth Column, Krayt Clan and more all have to have SOMETHING going on in the next couple months.
Please send me your schedules for June, July and if you have it August.
If you'd be interested in posting the events schedule for Living Adventures (fantasy larp I help run), it is at:

We usually post events just before the beginning of each quarter, so scheduled events through September are up. We try (as much as we reasonably can) to post events for the other fantasy larps on the Wasatch Front, as well. Those aren't up yet, but will be as they become available.

Thank you Heather. Living Adventures and Palanthar are now a part of the calendar.
