Eoin Colfer already brought his one-man show, Fairies, Fiends and Flatulence, to Dallas. But if you missed it, you can catch a live simulcast 7 p.m. Tuesday at Barnes & Noble at Stonebriar Centre. Mr. Colfer is launching a tour for his newest Artemis Fowl book, The Time Paradox. Comments (0) Leave comment

| E-mail entryThe entry "Life from Chicago: "Fairies, Fiends and Flatulence"" is tagged: Eoin Colfer That's probably too long for a marketable book title, even if it were a real Harry Potter book. It is, more or less, the title for one of the keynote addresses given this past weekend at Portus 2008, a conference that combined fanstuff for Potterheads and deepstuff for eggheads (and some stuff that mixed both elements for those who are both.) Among the egg-iest of the eggheads at the conference was Henry Jenkins, head of the MIT Comparative Media Studies Program. He's been studying the fandom phenomenon for years and gave a history that traced the roots of the current Potter-o-sphere back a century and more. Details at the jump. Comments (0) Leave comment
