Lessee. Steve will be found as much as his duties permit in smoking space. He drums and loves skilful guitar music but has, as I understand it, little interest in filk per se. If you're lucky, he'll bring his parrots; they're very cool. He likes people; you needn't be shy of him. He doesn't have any "oh, will all these horrid people just leave the Great Author in peace!" attitudes in my experience. Look for a man with a theatrical black leather hat, an enormous black banditto moustache, and a full mouth, who is almost as cool as he thinks he is. ;-> Have a great time! Cheers! Mia
