You know those things that you’re always about to get round to doing, but never quite do? Well I’ve finally done one.
40 years ago, in September 1982, I went to the USA, primarily to attend Chicon IV, the World Science Fiction Convention in Chicago. The trip was paid for by TAFF, the Trans-Atlantic Fan Fund, and one of the expectations is that anyone going on a TAFF Trip should write a report about it. That’s what I’ve done, finally. You can find it under ‘TAFF Trip’ in the menu bar above.
And if you’re wondering what TAFF is (“You’ve spelled out the acronym, but what is it really?”) all is explained. You’ll just have click over and read it.
Not a dream, not a hoax, not an imaginary tale! A TAFF report by Kevin Smith, as I live and breathe. Congratulations on finally getting it out, and a fun read it was. Oh, and I’ve had that same photo of the four of us pinned to the wall nesxt to my desk for years.
