Remembrance Day

[randy_byers]

A Facebook post by reverendjim and a lovely letter of comment on Alternative Pants from Mike Meara have reminded me that a year ago on this date I was in Antwerp with Jim and pingopark. We were dripping wet, because we had been walking around in a storm. pingopark and I were looking plaintively at Jim, who was examining the guidebooks to see if there might be any interesting pubs open on a national holiday, since the ones we had come to Antwerp to visit were sadly closed. He settled on Paters Vaetje, and we had found our haven from the storm.

Mike pointed out (albeit in a kindlier way) that I looked like a zombie in all the photos of me in Alternative Pants. Indeed, it's true. Here's one (not in the zine) of me looking like a zombie in Paters Vaetje. It may not appear so, but I was one very happy zombie.



Meanwhile, happy Novacon to those of you lucky dogs who are able to attend. Cheers, y'all!

Sounds like Novacon is before National Death To Clowns Day next year. Just saying.
(Though plenty of fine London pubs you've not been to too.)

Yes, that thought had occurred to me as well. Well, both thoughts had, actually, although I really do want to make it back to Belgium.
