We're getting so close, I think I can hear Cthulhu calling!
With a mere month left before Tonmocon, I'm trying to read up on a few things so I'm not completely clueless when I'm listening to some of these talks. Surely going through the threads on this board would be good preperation, but I was wondering if anyone (particularly, the speakers) would have any additional recommendations for quick and dirty "catch-up" materials concerning the presentation topics.
Which brings up another question: Do we know who all the speakers will be at this point, and what they will be speaking about?
So far I've got:
1) The threads and articles on this board
2) A copy of Richard Ellis's The Search for the Giant Squid
3) A DVD of Steve O'Shea's Discovery Channel special Chasing Giants that I still need to de-regionize before I can watch it (#@^$ing MPAA!)
4) Various Collections of Lovecraft Stories borrowed from local Libraries
and
5) Rentals of It Came From Beneath the Sea, Octopus, Octopus 2, and Dagon
Does anyone have any other recommendations? Keeping in mind that there's not much time left to hunt for rare and hard to find sources, or sift through volumes and volumes of information...
