lionmane Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 Howard Days, the annual celebration of author Robert E.Howard and his works, is going on this weekend, Friday and Saturday to be specific, in Cross Plains, Texas. Is anyone here from the boards going to attend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill_Adcock Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 Maybe next year, when I'm 18 and not under my parents' thumb. I'd love to go, and in fact was just recommending REH to a girl in my studyhall who's a writer. I thought the sample of writing she asked me to read over was vaguely reminiscient of Howard, with the same sort of emotional intensity.

Super Jag Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 Robert E. Howard??? Hmmm... is that the guy who wrote the Conan books way back? If not could you refresh my memory of his works? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill_Adcock Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 Yeah, REH wrote Conan, Kull the Conquerer, Bran Mak Morn, Cormac Mac Art, Solomon Kane, Red Sonia, and a slew of non-S&S tales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
primeval Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 I wish I could go, but I will one of these years. And Bill, if you have met a girl who writes like REH, and she likes his stuff you suggested to her MARRY HER! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill_Adcock Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 LOL yes. I like her for a lot of other things besides her willingness to read REH and HPL (I gave her a graduation gift today of a Lovecraft anthology). We're, literally, the only two people in school (though since she's graduated now, I guess I'll be the one and only) who listen to GOOD Metal.

WOW - a girl into metal and REH - does she have a 36 year old sister? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill_Adcock Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 She has my e-mail address, if she gets in touch with me I'll ask her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
