02/28/2006 Archived Entry: "Octavia Butler Memorial Thurs 7:30"

There will be a memorial for Octavia Butler at 7:30 pm this Thursday evening, at the Science Fiction Museum (details). The museum is at 325 5th Avenue North (Seattle Center, part of the EMP building).

My first encounter with her was reading Dawn, the first volume in her Xenogenesis series. Wow! I was blown away! I was surprised and pleased when she moved to Seattle -- we didn't see her often, but she attended Vanguard (our monthly fannish social gathering) most months.
