Maybe I should re-read Hart's Hope. I got it because I'd been looking for ages, and was so excited to read it; I read it on the plane out to CA-- while I was 6 months pregnant. [Cry] Bad idea!!! [Angst] Now I'm thinking I should read it again, from a little less hormonal and upset standpoint, but I'm afraid to...

Boskone captures many of my interests. Writing, reading, and hanging out with nerds.

Although OSC will be the highlight of the weekend, I also look forward to Jim McDonald reading an exerpt from “Atlanta Nights.”

The whole “Atlanta Nights” sting, is, IMO, one of the best hoaxes of the 21st century. Sure, better ones will come, but this sets a standard of vengeance and cruelty that I find delicious.

Please read more about it.

Uncle Jim comes clean

TNH’s collection of links about the story.

Travis Tea’s web page. Be sure to say his name out loud.

The blessed manuscript.

A list of the guilty parties.

Hmmmm, I don't think I've ever heard of the Atlanta Nights thing. I'll have to check it out next week, it sounds interesting.

So, why the three i's, elviiis? And how would you pronounce that, if you were going to?

I cannot read the manuscript. It's just too painful.

Yeah, the manuscript is revolting. I can only read a little at a time before my eyes begin to bleed.

elviiis is easy to say because two of the i's are silent. The third i comes from an old nickelodeon show.

Oh my goodness, I just read the wikipedia article. How funny! Perhaps we should do a reading from this instead of Eye of Argon at the next big gathering?

Cool, elviiis. And I loved that show! Can barely remember it now, but I remember being anxious for it to come on. [Smile]
