Being a celebration of the ten year anniversary of tilde.town happening in spaces both Cyber and Meat in October of Twenty Twenty Four. |
TOWN CON is a combined gallery opening and tech conference happening simultaneously in cyberspace and meatspace. Townies are encouraged to submit digital works of any kind: talks, writing, songs, poems, visual art, software. Each submitted work will get a viewing period starting at 10:00am (us central time) on October 11th. We'll all pile into a text based environment on the server to hang out together and discuss each submission.
I have reserved a cool warehouse loft in CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, USA in which townies can commune, consume, create, and sleep. I will have the space open from the evening of October 10th through the morning of October 13th. IF YOU WANT TO COME IN PERSON it's extra important to use the town con command to RSVP.
October 12th is a special day for townies who come to the physical town con space. We'll be doing something. Music jam, walk in the woods, minigolf, cooking. TBD.
Seriously: submit anything that can be consumed via a computer in under 60 minutes. Some ideas:
The whole purpose of this event is to reflect and celebrate the town's vibrant and idiosyncratic community. No work is too small.
The DEADLINE to submit is October 1st, 2024. Please use the command town con to submit a proposal or work. I am downright excited to talk to you about ideas and offer suggestions! Please reach out via email or come chat about it in `town chat`.
Town Con will be a great time to collaborate with other townies. We'll have a few concurrent jams--drop in/drop out creative sessions organized around a theme or activity. If you want to organize a jam please submit a proposal via the town con command.
Known jams:
Have you guess 'd you yourself would not continue?
The wanderer would not heed me
`` He told me at parting, that he should soon write
Mr. Elton looked all happiness at this proposition
what is it to us what the rest do or think?
I doubted it more the next day on Box Hill
Come thou, arise from the ground unto the place yonder
One was the son of Mars, and was killed before Troy
He had done his duty and could return to his son.
I never saw any thing so outree!
; woods, together with mountains, are on fire.
`` He told me at parting, that he should soon write
`` He told me at parting, that he should soon write
; and, abhorring the light, they fly { abroad} by night.
Can not you guess what this parcel holds?''
And these things I see suddenly, what mean they?
And you, paid to defile the People
Very strongly may be sincerely fainting.
she cried with a most open eagerness
`` He told me at parting, that he should soon write
Let me hear from you without delay
By him she was put in mind of what she might do
; but Emma 's countenance was as steady as her words.
Dear Miss Woodhouse, do advise me.''
It was certainly ‘barbara’ in the eyes of a Greek
One can not creep upon a journey
One was the son of Mars, and was killed before Troy
`` He told me at parting, that he should soon write
[ 77 and struck the guilty{ draught} from his mouth.
; The golden sun of June declines, It has not caught her eye.
Clarke translates ‘miseri senis ore,
: naught there is Save body, having property of touch.
Alas poor boy, he will never be better,
; but if he wished to do it, it might be done.
`` He told me at parting, that he should soon write
One was the son of Mars, and was killed before Troy
I knew who it came from. The virgin shrieks aloud
To feel the presence of a brave commanding officer But she was always right.
I 'd rather you would.'' This was a river of Troy
