The UCSD Arts Library is holding a Centennial exhibit of Tom Swift from June 1-July 31, 2010. As part of this exhibit, there will be two radio show programs held at the UCSD Geisel Library.

The first radio show performance was Tom Swift and His Airship and was held at noon on Monday, June 14, 2010 in front of an audience of about 45 people.

The fine actors of Write Out Loud (Kevin Koppman-Gue, Veronica Murphy, and John Ritter) along with the Arts Library's own Scott Paulson performed all the voices while Scott provided music and old-school sound effects.

If you are not familiar with Nicholas Basbanes, you are not reading enough. He has a number of wonderful books about the "Gentle Madness" called Collecting.

He has written up a nice piece on our Convention at the Fine Books and Collections Magazine website.

He calls our event an "ambitious get-together of kindred spirits" which seems fairly accurate. We hope you will join us as another kindred spirit.

We're waiting on our proof copy of Tom Swift Guide to Life, but we hope to have copies to sell at the convention (and we'll post a link to buy the book when it is available) but until then, here's a sneak peek at the cover for the book, Tom Swift Guide to Life. It will be 47 pages of full color illustrations and lots of observations about the life lessons you can learn from the first two Tom Swift series.

We are on Twitter. We will update it periodically to tell you the latest that is happening. http://www.twitter.com/tomswift100
