Visitors from the Future?
I am not sure what made me think of this while driving in to work this morning, but I thought I would share. A few years ago in Jacksonville, a bar had an interesting idea. They decided to host a time-travel party. The concept was to promote the party heavily in as many media as they could so there would be a record of it in various archives. The idea was that if time travel is ever possible in the future, people could find a record of the party and travel back in time to attend it.The biggest flaw with the idea was that they didn't promote it enough. I saw the posters up but didn't find out what they were for until about 6 months after the event. They needed more promotion and coverage in more national-level mediums, or even online. This way, their catch phrase of "who will attend?" would become well-known and have more of a likelihood of surviving far enough into the future to be plausible.
I am not sure which would be more amazing: if someone from the future had actually shown up at the party, or if the current-time-period attendees were surprised when they didn't.
Nevertheless, it was a neat concept for a party, and I thought I would share.
