SF Tidbits for 6/8/09

• The Shirley Jackson Awards Blog interviews Danel Olson.
• Nancy Kress saw Star Trek, and asks: How plausible does SF have to be?
• SciFi Wire asks: Is Jon Favreau the George Lucas of tomorrow? God, let’s hope not! That’s like asking if Stephen Hawking is our generation’s Gomer Pyle.
• LA Times asks, How do you greet an extraterrestrial? My guess is with appetizers. Everyone loves a cheese stick. [via Locus Online]
• Beginner SF readers might want to read this Science Fiction Author Primer.
• Art Links [via Super Punch]:
  • Batman director Tim Burton gets an art show.
  • There’s some awesome artwork over at the Mechanical Mirage Art Gallery.
