Stilyagi Annual Picnic

For whatever reason the city park service breaks the day into just two
blocks, one in the morning until 2 pm, and one from 2 pm to 10 pm. We
have the latter of the two reserved on the 8th.

I am a big fan of Thieves World anthologies and even own the role playing game supplement and I was amused by the Myth stories and the Phule stories.

Rob helped make my first SF con, Maplecon back in 1981, a memorable experience.

He also rode out hurricane Katrina in the French Quarter only moving out when it became obvious things would not be back to normal for awhile.
