Rudy Valentino and his wife—and their cat, Gertrude (Gertrude Stein) Stein—on their way (via ocean liner from the Great Beyond) to the 2012 Elora Writers' Festival.
     They plan to get some advice from Festival author/reader Erin Bow—we can only speculate how... Twitter? A tea leaf reading? A medium?—on using the Large Hadron Collider at CERN (Erin Bow used to work there) to conjure up a vortex of universe-bending "god particles" to bring them safely ashore on this side of things; so that none of this year's Festival will be missed... not one word of it.
