PKD's Flow My Tears Next Story To Go To The Screen

It's being reported in various SF News outlets (best by SFFMedia) that another Philip K Dick story is set to go to the big screen; this time, Flow My Tears, The Policeman Said.

As the writer of the SFFMedia report quite rightly quipped, the story – concerning a celebrity who has to navigate the treacherous envrionment of a 21st Century police-state America after an attack which somehow results in all memory of him being wiped from seemingly everyone – has enough commentary on culture in it to pack several feature films. From Blade Runner to A Scanner Darkly, PKD's just-askew-of-reality stories seem to make compelling cinema.

Here's hoping they do this one right, too.

The SFM At Cascadia Con

To get a good idea of what you can see at an SFM appearance, just get a look at these photos snapped during the last CascadiaCon (you should be able to click them to enlarge):

A most impressive collection of Hugos, yes?

CascadiaCon gave Curator Ed a lot of space to display, and it all looked good:

I've seen a good deal of this up close, and it looks just as good as you might think. Seriously, whether or not you're an SF Con goer, a SMOF, a reader, if you've enjoyed the production of pros and fans over the last several decades, there's lovely stuff to see when Ed shows up.

We're keeping Curator Ed's appearance list up-to-date, and watch it ... he might be coming to a Con near you some day soon.
