    > The Institute for Accelerating Change is a new Los Angeles-based
    > nonprofit. Our purpose is to help people better realize the implications
    > of accelerating technological change. We do this through our websites,
    > conferences, newsletters, gatherings, reading groups, media projects, and
    > our sense of community. We have adopted this purpose because increasing
    > the overall understanding of accelerating change improves the quality of
    > choices that individuals make, and, in turn, the quality of choices that
    > we make as a community.
    >
    > We believe the Institute's work will help humanity realize a
    > future of ever increasing promise.
    >
    > Who: All inquiries, offers to help, and pretty much anything else
    > regarding this event should be directed to Christian Colquhoun or Regina
    > Pancake at Applied Effects (see above address, phone and fax number).
    >
    > What: This party will have a dance floor, Cyber fashion show,
    > DJ's, bands, entertainment, dancers, Bar, and Lightshow. Much, much more
    > is in the works and to be announced!
    >
    > Cost: We are still working out how much the entrance fee will be,
    > but we think it'll be in the 15 - 25 dollar range depending on the
    > entertainment provided. It's going to be a good show, and it is a fund raiser!
    >
    > This is the opening email eliciting and soliciting ideas for the
    > party. If you have a vision of the future that you feel needs to be seen,
    > then let's talk and find a way to make it fit. I'm looking for all sorts
    > of ideas and assistance. Those who have helped in the past are most
