Well, it's time for Robert E. Howard Days 2012 and as it's becoming a bit of tradition, I'll be posting an ongoing trip report here. Some of you know I'm in the middle of a family vacation in Maine right now, but I'll be taking a few days off to fly down to Texas first thing in the morning. This year I'll be a participant as well as an attendee as I'm supposed to be on a panel Saturday---that may have changed though as I haven't heard anything in a while. There is also a rumor that I'm going to be refereeing a boxing match Friday night between Howard biographer and comic book writer Mark Finn and his opponent Chris Gruber, the editor of several volumes of Howard's boxing stories. The fight will take place at the old ice house in Cross Plains where Two Gun Bob himself used to box and drink beer with the roughnecks back in the day. Stay tuned!
