another year, another Hugo Awards incident
reify•1h ago
two come to mind

Mike Hunt and Wayne Kerr

As stupid single cell molusc undergraduates at out local pub, we used to phone the bar maid and ask if she could give a shout out for Mike Hunt, to see if he was in the bar.

This was before mobile phones, there was a phone kiosk in the entrance foyer

She used to walk around the two bars shouting. Has anyone seen Mike Hunt.

it was hilarious
