Subject: Re: USEA2012 Acceptance Speech acceptance From: US EA Date: 8/30/2012 10:41 AM To: Michael Schippling Michael, Here is the future acceptance you were looking forward to. I (as the one who has taken on this charge (as a massive admirer of Shannon)) will do my best to achieve a state that is entropically sublime. We are sad that you will not be able to join us, but if you'd like we can keep you informed of the precise time(s) that the exhibition runs so that you may perhaps juggle while/or ride a unicycle concurrent with the experience. Would you like any words of explanation alongside the (smallest practical) container, or is the container itself sufficient? Thank you for lending us your entropy for this tango here. Until the future(s), -USE(Andy) On Tue, Aug 28, 2012 at 10:45 PM, Michael Schippling wrote: I hereby accept your acceptance and look forward to future acceptance. I will also be out of the state from approximately tomorrow until 9/11, so the physical and/or virtual nature of the implementation is left as an exercise for the reader. MS ps...Please note that the specification of "smallest possible container" should be interpreted as "smallest practical container" which would be more likely to increase the entropy of the result. In hindsight, I have realized that post-modern manufacturing processes might make it possible to actually reduce the entropy, which is counter to the point.

At this point please respond with an acceptance of our acceptance. From there we will engage in a much more personal phase of communication wherein any details relevant to the display, delivery, and presentation of your accepted piece may be hashed out. Thank you again for being a part of this surly symposium. If you can attend we look forward to seeing you here. If you are unable, we look forward to seeing you there. Until the future.
