Debra Doyle seems to be on the same committee - does she know about him?
Why would he *want* to join SFWA? To give his writing greater legitimacy?
I saw this:

and immediately asked myself, wasn't Yarmouth one of the towns mentioned by H.P.Lovecraft?
Re: What.The.Expletive
I read the story. Are you *sure* this is not a plot summary for "Stargate: SG-1"? I swear I saw the episode, where O'Neill and that Senator ... oh, never mind. Life is imitating the wrong art these days.
Dan Blum - thanks for the link!
Marilee, Minicon 40 is in March - it would be much more likely for the sky to be snowing frogs, or something else. The variety of weird weather in Fort is freaking me out; he has records of everything but Oobleck!
I'm re-reading the books of Charles Fort in one volume. I first read them in high school, and not since. Damon Knight wrote the introduction to this edition. I'd forgotten what a lyrical writer Fort was - and how lacking in footnotes the books are. No way to check on anything.
I am doing this partly because I am on the program committee for Minicon Fortean (Minicon 40) and we want a few program items linked with Fort. One obvious possibilty is SF stories inspired by Fort's books. All I can think of so far is Heinlein's "Goldfish Bowl", but I just started this project.
(Don't worry, most of Minicon will have NOTHING to do with Fort.)
