Virtual Unrealities by Alfred Bester5/18/2023 For two hours we sat and talked, drinking pitcher after pitcher of beer (and a few other adult beverages, courtesy of Alfie). I was going to interview Alfred Bester? We soon found ourselves in one of the hotel bars at a corner booth, my friends and I looking outward and Alfie, pulling up a chair from a nearby table, with his back to the room. The next thing I remember I had asked for an interview to which he readily agreed. The convention was almost over and I and a few friends were resting in the lobby of the Muehlebach hotel when I caught the eye of Alfred Bester. I had driven home from Oshkosh, Wisconsin to Kansas City to stay with my folks during the convention. This was my first worldcon, and I think only my fourth convention.
