[lojban-beginners] jboselsla and the Michigan Lojbanists

["Matt Arnold" <matt.mattarn@gmail.com>]

Five local Lojban enthusiasts attended jboselsla festivities on
Friday, April 21 at Penguicon 4.0 in Livonia, Michigan. We were joined
by several curious onlookers with many questions. Present were me
(Matt Arnold, AKA "epkat"), Thomas Idzikowski (who is interested in
teaching Lojban to little six-month-old Ivy), Shaun Klein, Jennifer
Leadbetter, and Bruce Webber. Unfortunately Joe Bender was not able to
attend.

The week after that, Wednesday May 3, the five of us met at my house
for the latest meeting of our Lojban group and class that started a
year ago. I bought a large whiteboard and we wrote example bridi such
as {.i .u'u doi .can. mi pu pinxe lo do ckafi} and {.i doi .epkat.
pe'u e'o ga'inai ko dunda lo ckafi mi} and explained them to the
newcomers. I provided pizza. We also talked about Java, Lisp, and
Python, and played some games.

Our next meeting will be Sunday, at my house in Redford, just west of
Detroit and half an hour away from the University of Michigan. Future
plans include recording a podcast, conference calling with other
Lojbanists, and writing a sketch performance for Penguicon 2007 called
"Whose Lisri Is It Anyway?"

P.S. zo'o John and xorxes had better settle down or we'll title it
"Whose LE Is It Anyway?" and it will be about gadri.
