About the event
Perhaps you'll remember the nerd night we held on the novel. Joe Haldeman was my color commentator though I barely let him get a word in. But we stopped without going into detail about the beginning and development of science fiction realizing that it would be wonderfully interesting night. This time I will be the color commentator and give Joe the lead as he describes from within, the craft and history of science fiction. It's a big deal if a science fiction writer gets a Hugo or Nebula award but Joe has five of each. Ray Bradbury called him the Belle Letterist of science fiction and he's now referred to as Grand Master of the genre. He knows of what he speaks.
