David Cake for DUFF!!!!!

If you haven't met David Cake yet, you really should. He's a fan of many interests. In addition to his involvement in fandom (including working on Perth's regional convention, Swancon, and also on the Natcon, and publishing a small press magazine called Borderlands), he's the Vice Chair of the board of Electronic Frontiers Australia. He's just started a PhD studying internet governance issues, and he also teaches in the Curtin University department of Internet Studies, thus, as he puts it, "ensuring future generations understand how to caption pictures of cats." He's the regional contact for the Australian Burning Man, an aspiring electronic musician, and has an interest in esoteric knowledge and magic.

Still not enough? Well, there's more: "I've given presentations at cons on AI, roleplaying game theory, the history of the Necronomicon, voodoo, cyberpunk and steampunk. I once spoke at a panel about Grant Morrison's comic, The Invisibles, dressed in character as transvestite shaman Lord Fanny. I own a theremin, a fez, two smoking jackets, three different books that claim to be the Necronomicon, and almost everything ever published for the roleplaying game RuneQuest." His favorite writer is Tim Powers, who is a Guest of Honor at Worldcon. You really ought to give him a chance to meet his favorite writer!

Political activist, computer nerd, theremin player, goth, small press publisher, and beer drinker -- what's not to love? Send this man to the Worldcon and into the American heartland. You won't regret it. Vote now!
