introducing the speaker

[14:02] Riven Homewood: I'm so glad you could all come today.
[14:02] Riven Homewood: My friend Nichus gave me a copy of Tom's book and a hearty recommendation - and I'm so glad he did
[14:03] Riven Homewood: I don't usually read books about sl - they make me too angry. They usually seem to be written by people who don't know much about sl and don't understand it
[14:04] Riven Homewood: It was a great pleasure to read one by somebody who obviously knows sl well and loves it as much as I do
[14:04] Tom Bukowski: aww
[14:04] Riven Homewood: and who appreciates the fact that it is really all about friendship and community.
