An entire magazine devoted to cheese? You betcha! Culture magazine has just produced its first issue and I think I will be a regular reader. It is a bit expensive at $12.95 an issue, but it is only quarterly and it is very glossy. (Heck, it has a centerfold – that’s serious cheese porn.) Of course Kevin and I were further attracted by the fact that one of this issue’s articles is all about cheese-related venues in San Francisco. (There is a cheese school in Powell Street!) The feature article on blue cheeses is also very good. And of course it has contact details for the American Cheese Society. They are having a big convention in Austin next year. It is the same weekend as Worldcon. Oh no! However will I be able to decide which one to attend?

Cheese Society convention 5-8, Worldcon 8-10 ?
That might work, but I suspect Byron would be unhappy with me for bailing out on my stint on the masquerade table. And I think I’d have to do a red eye from Austin on Friday night.
No, I am not serious about this.
I work with Lassa Skinner at Oxbow Wine and Cheese Merchant. This event is coming up in a week or so.

Marshall, thanks! I shall talk to Kevin. That weekend may prove to be a bit busy but we might manage to make it.
