Storytelling: Ancient Tradition Into Today (Chicago Suite)
Storytelling is perhaps the oldest form of education and history transmission within cultures and societies. We will discuss ancient, historical and contemporary expressions of storytelling, how some different cultures view it (particularly indigenous cultures) and what, if any, boundaries apply or are crossed when telling of events, peoples and situations we are not directly a part of.

Delphic Oracle (Atlanta Suite)
Get your questions ready! / The world’s greatest oracular predictor, the Delphic Oracle is returning to Loscon! / Join Todd McCaffrey and other distinguished panelists as they bravely re-create the Oracle of Delphi and, through strange magic, answer each question one word at a time, one panelist at a time! / Some example questions to start you off: / “Will the world end tomorrow?” / “How will we know when the aliens are coming?” / “How do I get him to propose to me?
