LOSCON 34: Can you dig it? (Part III)

[zrath]

We apologize for the delay in bringing you the nerve-wracking pulse-pounding conclusion of the LOSCON 2007 Con Report.
The Writers Strike has affected many sectors of the entertainment industry, even Life Journal itself.
The following report was written by a scab Bizarro French Kzin.


Zut alors, growr!! It is Sunday!
Me not know if go or no go to LOSCON!
Sunday usually is le dead for conventions, but what hell, me go!
Me wake up at 2pm, very tired from party last night. Sacrébleu!
Me get to autobus stop, 10 minutes until autobus come, so me go Jamba Juice for lunch smoothie.
Me walk out door, and l'autobus arrive! Merde!
Cars get in way, me can't cross street, me SMASH!!!

I envision Fred in fifty years as this Obi-Wan like presence at LOSCON for all time. ^_^ How was he?

Well, Fred was in his wheelchair. He looked about the same.
He saw me approaching and said "hi Zrath". I walked with him a little bit and chatted.

Yeah, he's very much the Jedi Master of American Anime/Sci-Fi/Furrydom.
He's the first person I talked to when I went to my very first C/FO meeting somewhere in the wilds of Inglewood, CA. The room was full of VCRs connected into each other and tape-dubbing was in full effect. The actual programming almost seemed like an afterthought. This was back in '84 or '85.

I was starting to wonder what had happened to you! Welcome back! :)
