The Weirdest Weekend…
Finally home again in sunny Dallas, Texas after a week in jolly old England! And normal service is just about resumed…
In the meantime, check out the Center for Fortean Zoology’s blog for all the pictures, news, reviews and more from last weekend’s Weird Weekend gig, at which I spoke.
Highlights of the weekend for me were (finally!) getting to meet Neil Arnold in person; and seeing my old mates Jon Downes, Richard Freeman, Graham Inglis, Mark North, and Andy Roberts again.
However, the absolute highlight was getting to hang-out with Punk-Rock God, Rat Scabies, drummer from the legendary band The Damned, who entertained the audience with a lecture about his research into (and his book on) the mystery of Rennes Le Chateau.
In the picture above, I seem to be holding an invisible pint of beer, while Rat (in white t-shirt and black-coat) looks on, slightly mystified. Well, I was jet-lagged, it had been a long day, and a few pints had indeed been consumed…

Invisible beer glass eh? I thought that was your “Quarters” (the beer drinking game) playing pose.

My highschool buddy got me into the Damned. So does he think it’s from a Templar treasure? I’ll dig into this — thanks Nick. Next Weird Weekend should be at the Big Rock in Australia (where the dingos have turned crypto I think). haha.

LOL, nope, no game; just an invisible glass!

I haven’t read his book yet, so not fully sure of overall conclusions; but will be getting a copy shortly, so will probably do a follow-up post here.
