16 FANFARE VIA JALOPPY Came Geneva... and the fateful... "I know a girl in this town.... I ought to look her up... we find the street and the house, and out he gets at 6:45 to make a social call... the doorbell punched, and finally the door is opened by a pyjama-clad scowl... We wait, and HE comes out, and she says goodbye at the door, giving us a glimpse of something sweet in a bathrobe... Ye gods, his social calls are so nicely timed. We now enter the period of the flat roads etc. . .A howl of elation as we corss to Penna. . . Still more of a howl when we hit Ohio. We bed down in Cleveland at 8:30, promising to be on the road at 7:30, next A.M. . awjr rouses first and gets us up at 10:00 ... Indiana here we come, now for route 6 . . . Ah ha, there's that great sand dunes - and just ahead, Gary . . . Well, well, here's Highland . . . and now Munster . . . there's the Monon RR crossing, and Hammond is now in sight. Here your author gets out, stiff, hot, dusty, and cramped, for the Skylark was a 1928 Dodge sedan, not one of your fancy air conditioned wagons. Horrible memories of es with one ear on a bouncing suitcase, catching a cat nap will remain for life . . . They could smell Chicago . . . enuf . . . enuf "Quaff, oh quaff this kind Nepeathe[[?]] - and forget..." Do you like the technical work on Fanfare? Then try Nepenthe! Number one is now on sale, containing thirty-four beautifully hectographed large-sized pages of fantastic poetry (and stuff). For its first cover, Nepenthe has at great expense purchased and reproduced an old and accurate but little known drawing of a bonafied leper, complete with spots. Read nineteen new poems, including The Bride of Hilary[[?]] Boone by Charles R. Tanner, a multi-stanza ball of the Twenty-first Century, recounting a daring exploit of space-pirate Hilary Boone. And you must not miss the one and only authentic account of a sensational melodrama staged and waged at the recant Chicon:--Nepenthe offers the unexpurgated version in verse of one of the principle actors! Next issue: An intimatee and sympathetic study of the adventures of an Earthman on an incredible alien world, inspired by Miske's Outside, and decomposed in a gas-meter time by the inimitable Hoy Ping Pong! Coming up soon: The Love lyrics of a Famous Fan. Yeah, it's a dime. earl singleton mit grad house cambridge mass
