Yes. Weren't there many outside interests seeking control of things after Mr. Ackerman became quite ill and later passed away. I know there was a question as to how his treasures (books, memorabilia, awards, photos, et al) would be distributed and/or saved for historical reasons. How was his vast collection of sf items dealt with?

As 4E once said, auctions speak louder than words.

4E would have loved this!

Who'll be there?

If it were closer to home, I'd go!

It's relatively close to me - I may go. I'd really like to go Friday for the Stephen King programme, because we have filmed a King short we will try to show there next year.

Is your short a dollar baby?

It sure is! (Although it actually cost nearly $3000!)

A new Casey Wong original. It premiered at Monsterpalooza. Very accurate!

That's uncanny. Spooky, even.
