Barring any unforseen circumstances, we will have the fanzine publisher, poet, columnist, reviewer, and published author C.C. Clingan as a special guest at tonight's meeting. He is the publisher of the 1970's era fanzines The Diversifier, Paragon, and Dragonard. (a collection of the covers is shown in the montage image above)
