He comes from Thailand, and is in direct line for the throne (although I heard he got slightly bent out shape recently when they made girls eligible heirs....he dropped a couple of hundred places). In the dedication to one of his books (I don't remember which) he thanks a Princess for something...I believe she is his sponsor. (gives him money and stuff) He is a rather strange person...I almost met him at last Lunacon...Someone stuck something near my ear at a party that was saying "More right, use frash"...I turned and an oriental type was sticking this camera up to someone else's ear. I was later told this was Somtow. I have also been told that he sometimes writes columns for Locus, but of this I am not sure. ... I don't know anything about his musicianship. But if anyone is interested in hearing any more weird stories about him, send me a usenet address and I will pump my fen friends for more weird Somtow Stories..... ------- /* ____________________________________________________________________ */ Somtow is an old friend of mine -- we met through a mutual friend when I lived in the D.C. area several years ago. I'd sure be happy to hear how things are going for him now... blues, II (If you meet the Buddha on the road, say hi for me)
