Over at SF Signal, my latest Wayward Time Traveler column has been posted. In “A Correspondent to the Past, Part 3: 1995” I take the old time machine to 1995 to experience for a second time what you can really only experience for the first time once: a Harlan Ellison reading. Head on over to check it out. And if you’ve missed the first two parts in the mini-series, you can check them out here and here.
If only you set your time machine for 40 years earlier…

Oh man, those pictures are just amazing. It was the ’53 convention where Asimov had his famous first encounter with Ellison, right? I’ve also read about the 1955 Cleveland convention as a memorable one, too. I can’t believe how young Ellison looks. A friend of mine in high school lived right across the street from Ellison Wonderland, and I would see Ellison on his fairly frequent visits down to Dangerous Visions in Sherman Oaks. Even in the years since then, he seems to have aged. He had to be a teenager in those photos! Thanks for sharing them!
