En route to the family lake cottage in the wilds of central Michigan, we stopped for one night in Cleveland, to see the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and three in Detroit, to attend this year's NASFiC. As mentioned in the South Africa post, I had IST-related insights in both places.
At the Hall, seeing the "Pink Floyd: The Wall" display, the mention of the 1990 Berlin performance reminded me of the super presence at the Krypton-1 version thereof, and at some point along the road, this percolated into wondering whether the Hall has a discrete exhibit on the rock-and-supers connection, or whether it's threaded through the whole thing, tracing the links in both directions (Elvis drawing his costume designs from the Marvel Family, and serving in turn as an inspiration to Charlie the Clone).
There was a separate NASFiC because this year's Worldcon is being held in London for the first time since 1965 and the third time overall. There have only been four UK Worldcons in the interim, and one of those was in 1987. I found myself wondering whether anybody sprang for a membership for Rheergar ss'Shemmrar. For that matter, I found myself wondering how many of the Worldcon sites on Krypton-1, post-WWII, have been the same as on OTL.
