From Charlie Stross’ blog:
I’m in Munich this week, and I plan to be drinking in the Paulaner Brauhaus(Kapuzinerplatz 5, 80337 München; click here for map) from 7pm on Monday 18th. All welcome! (Yes, I will sign books if you bring them.) If in doubt, look for the plush Cthulhu!
Charlie’s favourite commentator on transumanism appears to be Dale Carrico.
Dunno why this was downvoted. If Stross is often wrong is that not all the more good reason to have a beer with him?

Even one-on-one, your odds of having an opportunity to speak are slim.
Me neither. I am actually not familiar with his work, but knew he is known in the singularity/transhumanism camp. I’ve heard two discussions with him (with Paul Krugman and on Singularity on 1 on 1) and he came across as well articulated and with a decent understanding of the issues. He talked about how he changed his mind and grew more skeptical of singularity, but I don’t know what causes this hostile reaction… :) Oh well...
Well … he said that the Singularity is more or less (his) literal fiction. I don’t need to talk with him so much, to travel 400 km.
