Unca Harlan's Art Deco Dining Pavilion

Discussion of the man and his work.

Another Interview
HARLAN

You are mentioned positively in this interview at IROSF, as well: http://www.irosf.com/q/zine/article/10432

I'm afraid registration is required to read it, but it's free.

No worries on the project. If you ever feel like resuming it, just let me know. I did complete a story of my own based on my attorney-with-the-holes idea. My publisher liked it so much he wants to lead off my Golden Gryphon collection with it.


Best,

Jack

Cheezus! Did it again, did I? Crikey, what a dolt!

Harlan, re: Harlan

JACK SKILLINGSTED:

Hi, my friend. Silence does not mean forgetfulness. I try with all my might to get back to our shared adventure. Wish me well, and maintain, good guy, just maintain!

IAIN CULLEN & JOHN ZEOCK:

Thanks, amigos. Both of you.

Yr. Pal, Harlan

Susan Ellison:

Thanks for your reply to my previous question (about purchasing the "I have no mouth and I must scer" PC game). I see you don't have a Paypal account, but, by any chance, would you have the possibility to receive the money through a simple bank transfer? If you could provide me your bank account details (either IBAN or SWIFT code, which are international standards), it would be easier for me to make the payment, and faster for you to receive the money.
Otherwise, I'll surely try to make an international money order; the only problem with the Italian post is that they also need the name of an individual to address the payment to, who would be the only person allowed to withdraw the money. Could you provide me such information? Thank you very much.

Interview
Harlan, here's a direct link to the part of that interview that would most interest you: http://www.omnivoracious.com/2008/07/the-resurrectio.html#more

Ollerman, how are the mountains of New Hampshire any different than the rest of New Hampshire?

Seen one tree you've seen them all. Wink.

---------------

Dorman, check out Fair.org if you want the real skinny on what is behind the news.

Not a pretty picture. YouTube keeps heaping on more Chomsky. Dive in.

Hey, I'll be in the mountains of New Hampshire this weekend, too! Of course, that's why I moved here, so it may not be the same thing.

Enjoy your visit, Mr. Richmond...

Harlan & Susan:
We are off to the mountains of New Hampshire, (just in case you call and find us missing for days). I have a few gigs there over the weekend and will return on Monday. Talk to you early next week. Cheers, Have a Good 4th. Love, T&A, and Little A.

to H & S
Harlan- sorry about the Jack O'Connell link. Not computer-savvy,I. Glad that someone could help you. Susan- glad you liked cookies. Current SFX with DWST one page article coming your way. Hope all are well. jz

Hi Harlan,

Link to the Jack O'Connell interview.

Cheers, Iain.

JOHN ZEOCK:

Absent the proper location code, your advisement of the Jack O'Connell interview by Jeff VanderMeer -- that I was anxious to read --and for which I searched for 20 minutes --that never presented itself --

-- is frustrating, and useless.

Harlan

Mark -- Good thoughts you shall have aplenty.

***

Steve B. -- It's hard to clap with fingers crosed, but here's hoping for a stellar turn out.

Steve, great news on the last minute gig for Cris. Will this be the first time she has performed the new material live?

I am heading to ConVergence here in Minneapolis this weekend. Harlan, I will tell Harry Knowles you said hi, as he is one of the Guests of Honor. If anyone else from the area will be attending (Tony Ravenscroft, Rick Keeney, etc.) drop me a note and hopefully we can meet up

I will be back in court next Wednesday to have the Judge address my ex's lack of payment on the credit card bills assigned to her as well as some additional financial issues that have recently arisen. Prayers and/or good thoughts would be appreciated.....

Mark

(I need an editor. Seriously. Didn't mean to be so repetitive in my post. *sorry* I blame the lack of caffeine and just damn laziness.)

HEY PASADENA AND GLENDALE WEBDERLANDERS: If you like jazz, Cris was just booked (last-minute) into THE VAULT in Pasadena, Saturday July 12 (7-10). It's her first public gig since the release of her new CD.Cris just got booked for a terrific gig in Pasadena! If we have a good turn-out, it will lead to a regular booking. www.thevaultpasadena.com

You may have heard poor versions of this bit of aural history, but this is a clear copy of Wells among the Philistines. Enjoy.

Article in yesterday's LA Times that the Tolkien estate hasn't received a dime from the LORD OF THE RINGS films:

Of course there are no profits to be shared! The studio execs need MORE. (see: current SAG negotiations..)

BREAKING NEWS: For those gents out there who have ocassionallyl felt their engeries flag south: Eat! More! Watermelon!

(Just discovered, while playing "Mental Floss" with the womenfolk of the house the other night that, way back when, the late Peter Jennings of ABC actually broke into programming to announce that Coca-cola was reissuing the old formula of their vaunted soft drink. At first, I thought it was the "big fat lie" -- unfortunately, it wasn't. Sigh. Dreams of stolid, old newscasters -- Rather, Jennings, etc. -- die hard. At least there'll always be good old Roger Mudd, Ed Murrow and Cronkite...and I don't think Brokow has let us down...has he? Anyone? Bueller?).

Some good news.
A complete copy of Fritz Lang's silent classic Metropolis has been discovered in Buenos Aires:

Now's when I'm actually glad I waited to pick up the DVD.

Diane Bartles –

Harlan is right. I was just in the Skokie courthouse the other day clearing up a ticket (missed a stop sign while keeping an eye on a cyclist weaving in and out of traffic in Evanston). If you go in and present yourself well and speak clearly and intelligently, you're already ahead of most of the mumbling reprobates that appear there. Everyone in that courthouse just wants things to run along smoothly. If you've got documentation, and you're willing to stand up for yourself, you've got a shot. Just keep your presentation direct and to the point - the judges there have little patience for rambling or embellishment. Just the facts, ma'am.

And see? There are others of us here in the Chicago area, even if we lurk most of the time. Feel free to email me if you need an ear or shoulder.

Ain't life grande?

(p.s. The documentary is from the Sci-Fi Channel Masters of Fantasy series and was broadcast in 1998.)

M. Ellison: you probably know about the site already, but I wanted to Make Sure -- www.oldtimecandy.com

We were chatting about childhood memories at work & I promised to check for the Seven-Up (long dead, alas), but I managed to find a stash of my lamented Zero bars. And, since they do carry the all-choc Necco... well, as I said, I just wanted to Make Sure.

That TV documentary about Harlan that was done in the 90s is now on youtube. Someone taped it.

They sure did a good job.
