>> First, as you know, we contacted Leslie Garcia to ask her to be the keynote speaker for LAC about three weeks ago. Since we didn't get any reply from her, we sent her another e-mail earlier this week using the same address and a different one, just to be sure. We still haven't heard back from her! This means that we need a backup plan... As a reminder, here's the original shortlist that we had:
>> 
>> - Leslie Garcia (http://lessnullvoid.cc/content/) -- Chris believes that the Stanford Arts Institute could help us bring her on campus
>> - Nancy Mauro-Flude (http://sister0.org/?whosthatgirl) -- Perhaps the Stanford Arts Institute could help us bring her as well (she lives in Singapore)
>> - Pamela Z (http://www.pamelaz.com/cv.html) -- Local artist
>> - Laetitia Sonami (http://sonami.net/bio/) -- Local artist
>> - Marije Baalman (https://marijebaalman.eu/) 
>> - Natasha Barett (https://www.natashabarrett.org/)
>> 
>> Should we try to contact Nancy Mauro-Flude? Her flight will be more expensive since she lives in Singapore. This also means that we'd have to ask the Stanford Art Institute again if they would be willing to give us some funding for her to come, etc. Any thoughts on that? Any other suggestions?

> I think we need to take action now... Still no news from Leslie Garcia despite the various rounds of e-mails that I sent her on different addresses. Should we ask Nancy Mauro-Flude? Yes? No? I talked about this situation to Yann, Albert Graef, etc. and here's a crazy (and may be slightly conservative in this context) idea: what if..... Nando was the keynote speaker (I'm sure he probably jumped on his seat reading this haha)? All the people I asked think it's a good idea. :) I think it would solve many problems. So unless someone wants to take the lead on this and keep looking for another keynote speaker, I would advocate this solution.
