About the appearance by D.E. Campbell, the folks at the Fortean Society say this: "Conceived backstage at her father's production of Illuminatus, Daisy Eris Campbell is now adapting Wilson's Cosmic Trigger for stage. She'll discuss the extraordinary story behind Shea and Wilson's magnum opus."

Meanwhile, John Higgs has announced on Twitter that his new novel, The First Church on the Moon, will be released August 10. The paperback will cost money, but the ebook will be free, Higgs says.
