i dremt i dremt...

... that i met up with a huge convention of ilxors in america, on the lovely lawns outside the PALACE OF THE PLANETS from andre norton's STAR RANGERS! (visually this place only exists in my mind's eye -- i mean it is the building she describes as i imagined it when small)

anyway everyone was there: f.kogan and g.marcus were trying to tidy up the many beer glasses and were carrying them in one go, in a very huge and very very precarious pile -- and my "fans" were gathered excitedly round me! one of them (luckily i have forgotten which if any actual real ilxor this was) said: "i have read everything you ever posted mark, and my favourite ever was 'THOUSANDS -- '"

AND THEN I WOKE UP >:(
