The NASFA Shuttle Oct-Dec 2007
Mike Kennedy, c/o North Alabama SF Association, P.O. Box 4857, Huntsville AL 35815-4857 / nasfa.shuttle@con-stellation.org / $1.50@, $10/year / The Shuttle sports the most comprehensive genre awards news being published. Where else would we find out about the Spike TV Scream Awards the Endeavour Award, based in the distant Pacific Northwest or that an asteroid has been named for George Takei? Herein find a nifty article from Mike Resnick about the many incarnations of Batman (Robin: a mistake in 1940, a mistake now), a report with (tiny) photos on OutSideCon/DSC (great food, and that's all I'll say about it), chapters of PieEyed Dragon's ongoing fantasy novel, eulogies for Reinhardt and 'Nooga fan Sandy McDade, and a bewildered reference to Buster Douglas which earned a friendly rebuke from yours truly, printed in the December issue. I'll never forget watching Buster beat the fool out of Mike Tyson!
