Hey there!
My name is Phil Eil and I’m the news editor of the Providence Phoenix -- Rhode Island’s largest alt-weekly newspaper. Last year I wrote an article exploring whether Providence was fully embracing its most famous literary son (the answer, essentialy, was “No.”): providence.thephoenix.com/arts/137626-are-rhode-islanders-finally-ready-to-recognize-pro/
Since then, there’s been an enormous uptick in HPL-related interest and enthusiasm around here and it’s attributable largely to this convention. (I interviewed one of the convention’s organizer’s, Niels Hobbs, a few months back: providence.thephoenix.com/news/152985-hp-lovecraft-gets-his-due/)
I’m currently working on a longer article about NecronomiCon and I’m messaging you all here to see if A) you or anyone you know is making the pilgrimage to Providence for NecronomiCon and B) whether you or your friends would like to talk to me about it. Also, if anyone has thoughts about Lovecraft and Providence, but won’t be able to attend the convention, I’m still interested to speak with you.
If you’d like to chat, feel free email at peil@phx.com. And please pass this message along to anyone who might want to read it!
Thanks.
