SEMINAR


Brant Gaede

Recommended Posts

I'm sitting in LAX waiting for my 10:30PM flight back to Tucson. I flew in here at 7:30AM today. I've been up since 3:00AM and am one tired puppy. Four hours to go before hitting the hay.

Anyway, I visited Nathaniel and Leigh Branden in their 18th floor apartment. Nathaniel's Seminar records should be available as downloadable audio files next year. They were originally done monthly and were distributed on a subscription basis for four solid years by Academic Associates, 48 of them, 1969-1973. Barbara Branden ran AA.

I have some surprising news. The rancorous debate between Albert Ellis and Nathaniel at the New Yorker Hotel in May 1967 still exists on tape. Leigh found it in a box of NB's tapes. 1200 people, I believe, were in the audience--maybe 8-900 Objectivists 3-400 of Ellis supporters. (I wasn't there being still in Vietnam.) Ellis was so pissed at what happened he wrote his screed, Is Objectivism a Religion--1968 or '69. I didn't tell Leigh, because I didn't think of it then, that unless some agreement is made with Ellis's estate, it's probably commercially unmarketable. We'll have to see.

I also sent the Brandens some old NBI records along with those Seminars several years ago. About half and half Rand and Branden. The Rand records are probably off limits for sale, but I don't see why Branden's can't be. I really liked his record answering teenagers questions on sex. There's some heavy stuff there from him too. Rand I recall reads some of her lectures and her stort story, The Simplest Thing In the World.

All for now.

I don't love LA, but Sunset Blvd from the Pacific to I-405 is a beautiful, twisty drive

I'm replying here to Brant because for some reason, he didn't want a reply in his "dup" thread. Whatever.

It's because he created two threads, and the one he wanted to keep has no replies. Carol decided to mess with him, now the whole thing's going to hell.

Hopefully they can agree to split the revenue and release the thing.

Huh? How are Brant and Carol going to make any revenue from Brant's dup thread? Isn't it already "released"? If not, how is it that I can read it and post on it?!!!

edit: You people! You meddlers! You've ruined everything!

I'm going to go sulk in my tent.

Only naked dancing girls can get me to come out.

And that's expensive!

J, you will be as shocked as I was, but apparently people are willing to pay good money to see Brant being messed with.

Who knew?

So long as you can take your computer with you into that tent, I got news for you, naked dancing girls are just a few keystrokes away! And it certainly won't be expensive.

I need the flesh. To feel the supple skin.To bury my face in quivering cleavage. To lick the salt. To smell the smell.
