I get to receive an award…

… tomorrow for the Rogue. The 22nd edition of the Horizon Awards will be held at the council chambers of Fresno City Hall. (Yeah, it does look like a Klingon battle cruiser, doesn’t it?) A pretty big affair and I’m supposed to give a short speech and all. (Lordy, lordy… oy vey!) OK, this is all pretty surreal to me.
