Hi,

Is there interest to have a chill section at FSCONS with a
(relatively) large number of Chill Bill sitting bags?

Chill Bill sitting bags are invented by Tom Madlangsrud, a guy here
in Oslo, and they come in many sizes and shapes, they are soft and
malleable and made of polyurethane (much better than the "pearls"
of Sacco sacks and beanie bags). Chill Bill bags can be used
individually, or they can be built into more or less complex chairs,
sofas or other creative shapes, like lego blocks. They are common in
use at IT conferences and festivals in Norway for chill sections.

I've told Tom about FSCONS, sent him the links, and asked him what he
thought about filling a van with Chill Bill sitting bags and come to
and participate at FSCONS. He's interested.

His web site, with pictures and info (in Norwegian) is here:

His personal history is that he originally started a movement against
stress, started to develop his own kinds of hammocks and sitting bags,
and realized that he could turn his "laziness passion" into a living:

I've checked that he would be interested, so now I'm suggesting the
idea here.
