The short answer is that I wanted to do something smaller and have more time to play this year. . . . but the longer answer is on the Web page with this year's schedule, which is now available at:

But here is a little of what I say about this year's format:

Anyone who has attended a conference in the past, like Mind States or the Entheobotany Seminars in Palenque, will tell you that while the speakers are what drew them to the conference, it was the people they met there that kept them coming back.

So we are going to attempt to re-create that vibe at the end of the pool in Palenque and record a series of Playalogues, or group conversations on the playa. It is our hope that theses conversations will eventually reach people far and wide. Hopefully, our conversations will never end, but will reach the ears of all who are ready to listen.
