Novacon 38

[ffutures]

Returned from the Novacon SF convention this evening, had a very good time but I've had to catch up on massive amounts of email, livejournal posts, usenet posts, etc. etc., so if I've missed replying to something important, please accept my apologies.

If anyone was wondering, I was in the audience for the great "is Livejournal destroying fanzines?" debate

but I'm too mean to pay hotel prices for WiFi access so I couldn't post at the time.

One of my acquisitions was an unexpected gift - the 1939-40 Army and Navy Stores catalogue, full of wonderful old stuff, given to me by someone whose LJ alias has somehow gone out of my head. murphys_lawyer It's going to be very useful, I suspect, and I may eventually post extracts.

Glad you like it; I'd been promising it to you for years and it finally surfaced.

Right! Thanks again, my memory for names, faces etc. is legendary for its crapness.

Oh - the Army and Navy catalogue sounds good - the sort of thing I read for pleasure.

I have some reproductions of 1900-ish Gamages catalogues etc., this is a lovely addition.
