Does anybody like Spider Robinson????!!!???

Do the Osmonds have TEETH?????!!!???

If you like puns at all, run, don't walk, to your friendly
neighborhood bookstore and request, nay, demand that they order
"Calahan's Crosstime Saloon" and "Time Traveler's Strictly Cash" for
you (publisher?).  The Calahan's stories can also be found in
various Analogs.  They rank with Clarke's "White Hart" tales, etc,
as some of the best 'bar' stories around.

He is also, with his wife, Jeanne, the author of the Hugo award
winning "Stardance."  A most unusual combination of Science Fiction
and Ballet.  He used to do the book reviews for Analog, too.

I'm sure there's an SF bookstore in Toronto.  They'll surely have a
complete selection of Spider's stuff, or, at least they won't look at
you funny when you ask to order some.

Some bits about Spider himself:

  Ex-New-Yorker, lives in Nova Scotia 
  Filk and Folk singer extraordinare
  Punster and Dirty Jokester
  
Also wrote:
  Antinomy (short stories and essays)
  Telempath
  Various short stories in Analog, Omni, other zines?
  there's gotta be more, but I'm not sure what 

Did I leave anything out?
