CALLING ALL AGENTS: IS FAIR 20202021
THE INSTITUTE OF SOCIOMETRY ANNOUNCES IS FAIR 20202021
AT THE GLOBEVILLE EPICENTER IN DENVER, COLORADO ON 11/11 – 11/14
Every four years we add a cheat-day to the calendar, elect a President, compete in the Summer Olympics, and convene the is FAIR. Since 1996 we’ve convened six is FAIRS in six different cities on this quadrennial schedule. Plans to bring the seventh is FAIR back to Denver in 2020, after a twenty-year absence, were trampled under the hooves of a white horseman galloping asunder across the land. On suggestion from our council of elders, we elected to hold the is FAIR in 2020, but actually in 2021.
See our Fair page for all the info!
