In Brief (June 2004)
This Story: June 29, 2004
- Although it’s by now too late to warn you in advance, I see that Andy Hallett has had to pull out of Apocalypse, the Buffy/Angel event in Belfast this weekend, for reasons of ill health. He was their main guest, as he plays The Host, Lorne in the Angel TV series.
- The July meeting of the Dublin-based SciFiClub is on the subject of Machine Intelligence, as will be on Tuesday 6th July, at 8:00 PM in Bowes Pub, Fleet Street, Dublin 2. Míchéal Úa Séadhgha, who gave a very well received talk on Lord of the Rings last year, asks can a machine ever be self-aware? Further meeting will be announced soon, I am told. More information on the SciFiClub website.
- Danielle Ackley-McPhail, who proved so popular at last year’s P-CON, tells me that she has a new book out, called Children of Morpheus. She tells me, “The collection of poetry and short fiction, illustrated by up-and-coming fantasy artist Ruth Lampi, will be launched at this year’s Balticon Science Fiction convention over Memorial Day Weekend. Both author and artist will be in attendance. Events will include a launch party sponsored by the publisher, Lite Circle Books ), and an author reading from the collection.”
- In the time since the last newsletter, the Gay Trekkies celebrated their 3rd birthday, the James White Award winner for 2004 was announced, and we cancelled one table quiz on extremely short notice, but managed to successfully hold another one. It’s amazing what can come and go in such a seemingly short space of time!
