The police beat section of your local paper often contains glaring omissions about our activities. To set the record straight, we offer our own side of the story.
Several unindicted co-consipirators met under the watchful gaze of ATF infrared scanners at the wilderness fort of Paul Melniczek. Among their topics of conversation were armed revolution and violent overthrow: the usual.

The Baltimore/DC HWA chapter was out in force at their backyard convention Horrorfind, attending and appearing on panels, not to mention working the dealer's room for contacts with editors, publishers and other professionals. Prodigal son and BWHWA ex-patriate Will Ludwigsen (your humble webmaster) even managed to attend and see the gang again (for which he is very grateful).
On Sunday afternoon, the BWHWA tribe nailed the coffin closed for Horrorfind with a mass reading jam session, including Jen Orosel, Roger Range, Lee Cushing, Scott Emerson Bull, T.E. Lyons, Joel Jacobs, Matt Warner, and Will Ludwigsen. The audience went away happy; that's all our false modesty will allow us to say, okay?
Roger announces his candidacy for President of the United States. No, wait; wrong picture. He's reading a story. State troopers: next time you pull this punk over, check the trunk VERY carefully. He's tougher than he looks.
Matt and I send the crowd running for the exits with our reading of "Riders."

A new treasurer? A charity anthology? Is our chapter starting to become respectable? Quick: someone fling a bottle of stale whiskey at the Stoker banquet stage before we lose our reputations!

The usual menagerie met at Keene's to discuss various sinister plans, and his work on the genetically-altered monkeys that sling radioactive feces is proceeding quite well.

Thanks to the tireless efforts of Roger Range (who risked his job by vouching for sociopaths like us), we launched a successful signing at the Annapolis Mall Borders where we introduced the literature of blasphemy to people buying the next Left Behind "book." Brian, Karen, and Barbara entertained the crowd with readings. We also managed to win tens of helpless shoppers to our cause and Karen got to say "shit" and "damn" loudly in a public spot just below the children's book section. The dirty vocabulary words for the next signing are "fuck" and "compassionate conservatism."
Afterwards, we adjourned to Griffin's Generic Maryland Chow House for the usual insider gossip and sinister planning. Keene mentioned something about that little party he holds in his basement, Horrorfind Weekend, and we all promised to come. You should do the same or he's really going to be upset and may start killing again.

We held our first meeting at Brian Keene's residence and were very productive: we appointed officers, decided on some general direction for the organization, and decided on bi-monthly meetings.
