Just an fyi . . .

Last week I received a letter from our GoH Howard Haldrop, who is not
connected to electronic world . . .really.

One of the projects to get folks to either join Capclave or atleast to
send us their money is to produce a limited edition chapbook of a
Waldrop story that will be part of the registration fee.  Howard had two
suggestions: reprinting The Ugly Chickens (1), since 2005 will be it's
25th anniversary, with new author background material about the writing
and research for the story or, a whole *new* story.

In the letter Howard was responding to, I suggested why not do both and
do it like an Ace Double.  He rather liked the idea, thou he noted he
wouldn't be able to get an Emsh (2) cover, and of course traditionally
the authors of an Ace Double usually had totally different roylaty
reports, even when it was the same author. (3)

Hotel wise, the plan is to locate a hotel with a little more available
function space, and to be there for atleast 2 years. On more or less the
same dates, also.

1.  If you haven't read it, boy, are you in for a treat, as I have
mentioned previously.  Here's the story:

2. Emsh, was Ed Emshwiller (1925 - 1990), a noted artist in the field
and filmmaker.  He did the covers to many Ace books, also many covers to
F&SF.  Do an Image search at Google for "Ed Emshwiller" for samples of
his art.  His wife, Carol Emshwiller, is a writer of some regard in the
field.

3. "Occasionally both sides were by the same author. One such pair was
by Phil, and the royalty statement in question gave totally different
sales figures for the two halves of the same book"
