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?

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. -- Jeff Wilson - jwilson at io.com < http://www.io.com/~jwilson > ------------------------------
