[ via FoRK ] Charlie Stross has a fine Weblog using Rael Dornfest’s Blosxom.

In one entry, he takes apart the latest line from the Weekly Standard: no, Europe is not anti-bourgeois. Like his fellow countryman Ken McLeod, he understands that history is the trade secret of SF.

In another series of entries, he gives you a good picture of what a UK SF con is like. It’s not about the hall costumes, it’ll all about the bar. UK fandom is small compared to the US, but they have their priorities down.
