dark-shadows
    Contact: [e-mail] (Bernie Roehl)

    Purpose: Dark Shadows was a daily soap opera that ran on ABC in
    the late sixties (ending in 1971).  It had a Gothic feel to it,
    and featured storylines involving witchcraft, vampires, werewolves
    and the supernatural.  It was (appropriately enough) "brought back
    from the dead" by NBC for a single season last year. It also
    spawned two feature films, a series of paperback novels, and lots
    more; the series is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year.
    There are a number of international fan clubs for the series, but
    so far there has been no newsgroup or (electronic) mailling list
    devoted to it.  Now there is.

    innovative companies trying to give them the sophisticated tools
    they need to compete in the new global environment. Instead of
    "hunting" for far away companies and offering incentives to try
    to get them to locate in Littleton, we concentrate on adding value
    to existing local companies, or "gardening". Services include using
    commercial databases to provide a variety of strategic information.

    We are also actively interested in systems thinking, chaos, and
    complexity as they apply to economics. We look forward to hearing
    from those of you out there who use information, and who are
    involved with businesses.

    described as those simultaneously interested in anarchocapitalist
    politics, cryonics (and other life extension techniques), the
    technological extension of human intelligence and perception,
    nanotechnology, spontaneous orders, and a number of other related
    ideas. If you are an Extropian, the concept that these are all
    related topics will seem natural.

    All Extropians (and those who suspect that they are Extropians)
    are invited to join.

    For more information on the Extropy Institute Inc, a not for profit
    educational foundation, send mail to [e-mail] or write

    existing historical designs.  Ideally we'd like to concentrate on the
    creation of new and unique designs, rather than on the reproduction of
    something already existent.  Discussions should concentrate on design,
    motivation and execution of fantasy clothing, costume, or wearable
    art.  Suitable topics include techniques of abstraction, theatrical
    costumes, serious Halloween and Mardi Gras costumes, mythological and
    other non-factual historic-type costumes, incorporating mixed media,
    creative and motivational forces, using and finding patterns,
    materials, books, and other sources for supplies.
