Mac Tonnies-"The Cryptoterrestrials: A Meditation on Indigenous Humanoids and the Aliens Among Us"
Amongst my Mac Tonnies' craze I have begun reading "The Cryptoterrestrials." Tony had been begging me to read the book since he purchased it but I just kinda shrugged it off.
One day when I fork up the dough I'll be able to buy his short stories collection which is what I particularly want to read. I mean, it's not that I don't enjoy his theories and research and what not, but he was also a really good fiction writer from the blurbs I've read from his blog. I was listening to the first memorial on (I definitely forgot the name of the podcast, I'll add it in later) and Paul Kimball had talked about turning one of Mac Tonnies' stories into a play. I wonder if he's done that yet.

Tony is making it happen.
Last night Tony called to inform me that he was given a shout-out by Paul Kimball. Awesome! Tony has been blogging every day now for about two months and I am very proud of his networking skills, his dedication, etc. I'm also beginning to find his open-mindedness to be one of his most attractive qualities that for the past three years I have somehow overlooked. To commemorate Tony's awesome day I took a screen shot of the shout-out to save.
Within the shout-out Tony was compared to none other than the late Mac Tonnies (that's a huge compliment). Mac Tonnies was creative, very intelligent, as well as handsome. I unfortunately missed the Mac Tonnies train but am catching up by rereading his blog over and over again (Posthuman Blues), listening to any podcast/youtube video I can get my hands on, and slowly reading one of his books that my boyfriend ingeniously ordered. One day I would like to get my hands on a hard-copy of his short stories but I can't fork up a hundred dollars yet (it's out of print which is why it costs so much). I have been finding myself thinking and speculating about Mac Tonnies a lot lately and I'm not sure why-the catalyst was a blurb from the memorial podcast where Kimball talked about Mac Tonnies sleeping in the nude.
Anyways, Tony is awesome for:
-his dedication
-his networking skills
-his humor and wide range of topics within his blog posts
-AND his rising skill with grammar.
SO you should most definitely hit up http://forteania.blogspot.com/
