On Wednesday, July 12th, I'll be giving a talk at Salt Lake City's Natural History Museum of Utah. Tickets are available at the link above. 

I know there's a considerable concentration of Patreon supporters around northern Utah, so I'd like to arrange a Patreon meetup, but I haven't been able to get a lot of clarity about my scheduling obligations to the museum outside of the talk itself. So let me turn the question to you, Utah supporters, comment on this post: are there days/times around then that would work particularly well for you? If it looks like a winner day is starting to emerge (ideally not earlier than late Monday or later than early Thursday), I'll do what I can to make it happen and make an announcement about it on here. 

All the best for now,

Jackson Crawford

P.S. Your Patreon messages often don't reach me, and vice versa for my replies to you. I don't get notifications for them, and there's nothing on my home page to show me when there is or isn't a message. I can't even always see them when I check for them manually, and you won't see it if I reply! The best ways to get in touch are: a) just to comment on posts like this, b) to post in the  Community page, or c) to email Stella at [admin AT JacksonWCrawford.com]--remember the 'W' between my first and last names in that domain name.

I was going to run down after my last meeting yesterday, but something came up and I've got to stay around here. Hope you have a great turnout! I was looking forward to visiting the museum and their other "Viking Night" activities.

Thank you so very much for taking the time last night after your discussion to sign books and chat briefly. I really enjoyed the evening and want to say thank you for all the work you share and the time you spend making it accessible. I have been thinking more today about the part of your discussion that compared the Latin alphabet’s upper to lower case and began wondering if younger Futhark might have emerged for the same purpose—being a sort of short hand? (If so, have you covered the topic in a video?)

Thank you in turn! I thought it was a great event. That's a good thought, though I don't think it's provable one way or another--but certainly the fact that you have fewer letters to worry about potentially writing has a "shorthand" kind of feel to it
