Droogs,

I'm planning to attend Aggiecon on the Texas A&M campus the weekend of 
March 27-29. If anyone else is going to be there, would we like to meet 
up, perhaps for a tour of the portions of campus that may have inspired 
portions of the Book of the New Sun, _the Fifth Head of Cerberus_, and 
other Wolfean works?

Best,
Jeff

I'm not sure that I recall any sex with farm animals in the books.   
Are you sure they were inspired by something at A&M?

Hook 'em,
Lane

When no man living can recall who is commemorated by the painted skin 
hanging in the hall, it is taken down and if it says "BEVO" on the back, 
we have a chuckle and hang it back up again.

I suppose it would make good disguise to wear when one goes cow tipping.
