Sadly, Frankie Thomas, who was supposed to be the guest of honor, passed away earlier this May. If anyone sees Bill Warren, say hi, and tell him you can't wait for the new edition of Keep Watcbing th Skies!

How about Jack Williamson or Philip Jose Farmer. Both are still alive!

I'm not attending this year, even though the con location is less than 10 miles from my house. The price is pretty steep considering that I'm not that interested in today's product.
