Had fun at Ragtime last night. Rumour has it that certain people want to hear me compare The Who concert to Ragtime...sorry, you're out of luck. Unless Allison's willing to do it, of course. :-} Inkspot was reviewed on p46 of the first issue of
Web Guide Magazine. I saw the magazine in a magazine store last night with Allison and was mocking it, wondering who would shell out 8 bucks for yet another internet "website" magazine. That was, of course, before I realized
I was mentioned in it <:-). By the way, here's the bio of Scott Edersheim, the other guy maintaining the
Ookla The Mok (non-) Official Fan Club Page (these guys sound like way too much fun):
I'm not certain what a Bio should entail, so I'll keep it brief (truth is
that my life is so interesting that it could easily fill half a page or
even more)
Paul Edersheim paced anxiously within the small confines of the waiting
room at Genesee Community Hospital while, deep within one of the dark and
forboding birthing rooms, his wife, Shariee, shrieked and carried on like a
rabid banshee. This was the third day of the eighth month of the year
1966. 'Twas in the wee hours of the morn when the young and dashing Paul
heard a shrill cry (that was me, eh) pierce the tense air
I was born in Rochester, NY. When I was but a wee lad the family moved to
a Chicago suburb, then back to Rochester, then to Pickerington, a suburb of
Columbus, Ohio, where I was first introduced to the awesome might of the
Ohio State Buckeyes. After but a year, I was seven, we moved to a small
village 40 miles northeast of London, England. After 5 fun filled and
carefree years, we moved back to the Rochester area where I suffered for 5
long dull years. Upon graduation from a small and utterly meaningless high
school, I entered The Ohio State University so that I could witness for
myself the awesome might of the Buckeyes, and get a degree in Criminology
and Criminal Justice. While attending that fine academic institution, I
was forced to take a class in spanish. I quickly learned that I have no
affinity whatsoever for foreign language. Fortunately, and just as
quickly, I learned that the cute little gal sitting next to me did. I
passed spanish, married the cute gal, graduated, and did a 3 1/2 stint as a
private investigator.
I now work in a totally useless and thankless capacity for the State of
Ohio. Two years ago, while attending my first MARCON, I stumbled upon a
filk concert being performed by some band named for a chewbacca like ripoff
who accompanied Thundarr the Barbarian and Ariel the Sorceress on various
animated adventures. I now spend my time as co-maintainer of a cool web
site dedicated to that same band, and collaborating on a fantasy fiction
novel with the same co-maintainer, Ed Wright. I am also still very happily
married to my spanish tutor, Paula.
