Howdy and hola! Welcome to the cluttered home of that inveterate letterhack, sometime apan, Corflu host, Ditto Head, fan fund also-ran, wild wild Westercon runner, oft published if only occasionally fanthologized fanwriter, favored researcher for Joe Bob Briggs, editor/publisher of "Light in the Bushel" and "Fanthology '87," and professional gas-passer, El Paso's own Richard Brandt.

Keep looking for links here to convention pages, my favorite on-line hangouts, and electronic editions of my 'zines and those of my buds.
