My First Sunstone!

chanson, September 28, 2009October 20, 2010

I’ve just done a guest post on the Sunstone Blog about my first Sunstone experience!!

Shortly after the conference, I was happy to see that two bloggers remembered the panel I organized as being a particular favorite! Unfortunately, neither one of them seemed to remember that I was on the panel. A bit of a bad sign…

Anyway, to prove that I really was there, I have a photo (taken by Kaimi):

My experience at Sunstone

August 9, 2010August 19, 2011

Sunstone was an interesting experience for me. I was there Friday and Saturday, and Saturday morning I presented my paper “Two Paradigms for ‘Gay’,” which compared themes/reception of Langford’s No Going Back (which if you overlay onto the categories at the right, takes a North Star-like stance), and my novel…

Sunday in Outer Blogness: Conferences Edition!

August 10, 2014August 10, 2014

This past week there were a lot of great discussion of the sessions of two recent LDS-interest discussion conferences: Sunstone and FAIR.

    I think the link to biv’s blog is broken – you need to be logged in in order to access the post about the island of misfit toys…otherwise, thanks for posting! Wish I could have been there – it sounds fascinating!

    I know. I submitted the guest post before she set her blog private — I didn’t know she would do that when I wrote it. I should probably write to the Sunstone folks and tell them to take the link information off of that citation.

    Hey chanson,
    Where can we see a transcript of your contribution, and reactions to it?

    The Sunstone Foundation recorded all of the sessions, so the audio will be available from them at some point. Also, I re-read my remarks for the Atheist Talk Radio Podcast, along with a bunch of additional commentary. Neither appears to be ready (yet), but I’ll keep you posted! 😀

    Hey, I remember you, at least. And that’s what’s important.
    Anyway the real party was the night before.
