Pat's name is familiar, as is Jim Gunn's.
Writer of the Future ....nice!
Time to stretch those literary muscles, again. 🖋 👍.
Border's Bookstore. I love Border's...it's got a special connection for me. The first time I saw one was in DC, when I was vacationing there for several days during Clinton's first term. Did the WH tour. It was near my hotel so I think I stopped in there since it was new to me.
I'd already been in DC previously for fun, and protests. I forgot how I tracked the weather back then away from the NYC Tri-State area - bc I'd be making sure I was visiting DC when it was low 80s, and relatively low humidity. Beautiful weather!
Maybe 
the weather details in The NY Times.
Then a Border's (mayaaaybe 2) opened up in Manhattan, one which was by a subway stop at the beginning of west Midtown Manhattan that I frequented. Visited that one for a good amount of years till they closed.
I'd have to disagree regarding THT, though. In the sense that the late '60s when American "New Wave" SF happened like Ellison's Dangerous Visions anthologies (my dad, and I belonged to the SF Book Club) with modernistic writing styles, exploration of "Inner Space", and social commentary.
I'd put THT under social commentary.
I think I remember you mentioning your Solar Eclipse adventure at some point you recounted it after 2017 bc I didn't join DU till June ?'23 or so. And when I remembered DU's name in '23, and googled it up from seeng it waaay back in ?W's first year when I stumbled upon it while at a Net Cafe - I only lurked for a bit, and joined up.
Well, if I do get go to a SF con in my NYC area next year; I'll let you know. 👍
