Ooh, I just finished a letter (one I started on October 8.... hmmm...) asking you for some good regional ghost or history stories, and you supply this one about Howard Blackburn! What an awesome dude.

Oooo, come see my Radio Show Thing! It's not a short radio play, but it is awesome beyond all possible dimensions of awesome--if I say it as shouldn't. www.bb1938.com.

Aw, rats, I just can't. I'm sorry. Of all things, that looks like the perfect show for this October. But I'm going to be away for school. If it's actually being broadcast, I'll go in for a recording! But I suspect it's a live show.
