We present Spider's famous
March 1996 Post Toast
to the alt.callahans newsgroup, in which he, among
other things, lets us know what he feels is important
when it comes to the Callahan's customs, traditions
and philosophy.
Spider Robinson is the award winning (three Hugos and a Nebula)
American author (now a Canadian citizen), born November 24th in
1948, who created the Callahan's Crosstime Saloon series of
science fiction/fantasy novels...
He has also written about other than Mike Callahan and his
cohorts as shown below. Our Web site, however, is based loosely
on the Crosstime Saloon series. We have a few
book reviews and welcome
new submissions.
We hope to be adding extensively to these pages. If you feel
you have something you'd like to contribute, simply
email it to us...

site.
One of our patrons (Kitty, PUFFYKITTY) met Spider and Jeanne at a
musical event (July, 1997) in which Spider and Jeanne sang Beatles songs
for 3 and a half hours. Here is a
photo of Spider, Jeanne and
Kitty taken at the event..
We hope you have heard "Mike Callahan's" philosophy
espoused elsewhere on this site. (If not, please check out
What Is Callahan's?))
Spider and Jeanne reside in Vancouver, British Columbia,
Canada. The pair sometimes collaborate and shared a 1978 Hugo
Award for the novella 'Stardance.' They have a daughter
named Terri.
We have compiled a list of
Spider's works that we hope you'll find useful. Please
let us know how we can improve the list, or the site in general.
