I did not know about the vampires. Note to self: be careful during the
Chicago conlangcon, if it takes place..... Gothic scary places? Until
recently, the Chicago Tribune tower (editorial policy has mellowed to the

Just on the edge of the vast deserts of Louisiana, where poor Manon Lescaut
took refuge......I intended, but failed, to see the scandalous French film
