Northern Voice 2007

Thanks to everybody who submitted requests for travel bursaries. The organizers spent some time knocking our (virtual heads) together and have selected the following winners:

• Candace
• Will
• Jim
• Mike
• Monique
• Laurie

Monique's actually a Vancouverite, but she had a great idea for how to spend one of the bursaries:

I know that all sorts of great people come to the conference each year, and each year, we’re so crazy to hang out with each other that, at the last minute, we plan parties and after-conference events. We go for dinner, we go for drinks, we go to hang out.

I would like to buy a bunch of taxi cards so that people who have been drinking can see me for a taxi card. Whether they’re going home, to a hotel, wherever, I want to make sure my fab friends--new and old--get around safely.

We're sorry we can't accommodate everybody's needs, but we've only got so much cash in the bank!

UPDATE: Error! Error! Will Robinson! Sorry, made an error. Busy morning. Error fixed. Blame a hanging chad, or something.

UPDATE: Bursery Submissions are now closed.

We've had some great bursary submissions, but we would love more! So, a quick reminder: the Bursary Submission Deadline is Friday February 2nd at noon Pacific. Get your blog, podcast or videoblog posted describing why you want to come to Northern Voice and fill out the submission form with a link to it!
