A bit of catch-up here. In the wake of the Balloon Boy debacle, The Guardian thought we should all be reminded about the first Great Balloon Hoax. It was a good thought, especially with this year being the 200th anniversary of Poe’s birth. There might even be a convention coming up that is having some Poe-related activities. Will there be balloons? Hoaxes? You’ll have to wait and see.

I have no idea what you could be talking about. You can peek in my LiveJournal to see how little I know about it.
Poe is still unappreciated as the wholesale inventor of popular culture. He was just a generation or two too early.
