My copy of Howard Who?
My copy of Howard Who? (1986) is actually part of Strange Things In Close Up, a collection of Waldrop's first two anthologies . The second being All About Strange Monsters of the Recent Past (1987). Oddly, this UK collection from Legend shows no pub date but it must be sometime before 1990 since after his inscription Waldrop wrote October 13, 1990. I presume that was ArmadilloCon that year. Before the mid-90s, Armadillocon always happened on Texas-OU weekend when the hotels were cheapest. I can't recall the reasoning for pushing it back to August. We all know how everyone loves to visit Austin in sweltering August as opposed to beautiful, cool October.

Everybody Comes to Rick's! Did Howard move to Texas "for the water?"
As if I'd never heard that joke before...
Howard has spent most of his life in Texas, but I'm sure the "water" has influenced his work! Probably why he returned after a few years in Washington state.
