I wanted to post a few photos from the recent Space Squid excursion to College Station. Because it was the official hand-over of the clay tablet issue to the Cushing science fiction archive<\/a>, we had to make it a huge production with a bunch of Space Squid contributors tagging along to take a tour of the archive and witness the somber transition of ownership.<\/p>\n

How do you know when you get to Texas A&amp;M?
\n
\nHehehehehe.<\/p>\n

The archive is held inside giant, mechanical sliding bookshelves.
\n<\/p>\n

A crew of science fiction writers perusing the many rare editions reminded me a little of kids in a toy shop.
\n<\/p>\n

Note, the third or fourth largest science fiction research archive in the world uses the term "sci-fi."
\n
\nSo all of you who want us to use "spec fic" or "skiffy" instead can just bite it.<\/p>\n

Hey, Superdave, look! Utopia!
\n<\/p>\n

So that’s where you catalog the Necronomicon.
\n
\nI think the paperback is slightly scarier than the human-skin edition.<\/p>\n

A veritable tower of Dick.
\n<\/p>\n

The cuneiform cone was close to the size I imagined.
\n
\nThe tablet however was much smaller.
\n<\/p>\n

Here’s the historic handover of the Space Squid clay tablet issue.
\n<\/p>\n

And of course, any trip to College Station requires a stop at Snook for the chicken-fried bacon.
