So it's like a one day Clarion?

It can be, but it doesn’t have to be. It can be whatever 3-5 writers can talk about that would be of interest to like-minded folks.

It has been said online that people only watch The Boys for Homelander. Nonsense. It’s a very pretty note, but’s just one note. I’d watch The Boys for 99 more seasons as long as Karl Urban comes back for it. In fact, sign me up for a solo Dr. McCoy movie with Karl Urban.

I too like The Acolyte. I may not like it quite as much as you but we’re not that far off- a galaxy away from the haters. I have no gripes with it. I like a number of the characters. It just feels to me like an excellent movie script that got stretched into a full season of TV. Is that good, bad, just a sign of the times? **** if I know.

I was also sorry to hear of the passing of Kinky Friedman. The world was a better place for him being in it.

And tonight Martin Mull has passed. If you haven’t yet check out Mull’s 1970s Soundstage appearance “60 Minutes To Kill” on YouTube. One of my favorite things he ever did was something called “Flush With The Walls” so Google that, if you don’t know about it.

Karl Urban is my favorite thing about the show. He can do no wrong in my estimation.

I was a guest author of a one day local author event just like you are describing, which was held at a public library sometime around 2013 or so, and it went very well. I think more small author expos like that would be a great thing for writers of our generation.
