The way WJD describes it's gonna be, has this newsboy jumping up & down with glee. It'll be thoroly scientifictional; not only as a futuristic as Things to Come but as interplanetary as a Life on Other Worlds backover by Paul! That's all I'm at liberty to reveal to U; but all will be revealed at the Denvention Masquerade, so this's just one more of a myriad of reasons to make the MyIhicon! See Honor Guest Heinlein in a Mystery Costume! Leslyn Heinlein too plans to participate.

Fortunately, the accompanying costume won't be costly -- this homo superior wasn't addicted to wearing clothing. Don't get me rong; the part I'll play will be that of a slan masquerading as a human!

Gathering was curiously quiet as fire was bilt, weenies roasted, potato chips consumed, lite drinks & coffee drunk; & then --stounding of astoundings! -- the thing we can never accomplish at the Club; Conversation turnd to science fiction...& storys & plots & authors & theorys were discust! This kept up for a couple hrs til someone realized what was hapning & soon after the Angelenos shamefacedly broke up. SEEKERS OF SHANGRI-LA And still they come! Followers of 'Shangri-L'Affaires' noe that Way Out West we are anticipating playing host to stfan Chauvenet & party shortly bfor Denvention time; welcoming Phil "Fantasite" Bronson into our midst; & now the word comes thru to be on the lookout for Juliu Schwartz & Edmond Hamilton! IDLE CONJECTURE DEPT Wonder if anyone'll come as Yngvi? (To the Denvention, of course, dope! See U at the Shirley-Savoy!!!)
