Kirby Urner was the first webmaster of the Buckminster Fuller Institute. Doug Jacobs is the author and director of R. Buckminster Fuller: The History (and Mystery) of the Universe. Sam Lanahan was Fuller's assistant while he lectured in the Philippines. On Sept 17 2008 Kirby, Doug and Sam and I had dinner together. Kirby took some photographs of the evening, which can be found here.

"For even more on Buckminster Fuller, come to Esozone for Trevor Blake's presentation 'The Approximately Omnidirectional Ephemeralization of Richard Buckminster Fuller.'"

This is, I believe, the first public announcement of my lecture.

Trevor Blake: Buckminster Fuller Play in Portland [LINK-ZUM]

Portland Center Stage will be presenting R. Buckminster Fuller: The History [and Mystery] of the Universe October 14 - December 7, 2008. "An engineer, architect, mathematician, designer, poet, philosopher, motivational speaker, major utopian thinker and inventor of the geodesic dome, Buckminster Fuller was one of the most remarkable minds of the 20th century. Born in 1895, Bucky was way ahead of his time. Refusing to think in conventional ways, he was an innovator, a futurist, and one of the first true global thinkers. This tour-de-force, one-man performance explores Bucky's life and work through a blend of testimony, lecture, autobiography, poetry, comic antics and video imagery. The play spirals and spins through ideas and experiences as Bucky escorts you on an unforgettable journey."

I saw this play in Seattle (with a different actor as Fuller) and it is very worth attending. View a commercial from a recent presentation of this play in California.
