FRINGE - The Gene Wolfe Clip
Thanks again to the urth.net folks for tracking this clip down.
Gene Wolfe Mentioned On Episode Of Fringe
It was quick, but it was there, and it paid a moment of homage to one of SF&F's greatest writers. Episode 16 in season 4 of Fringe named dropped Gene Wolfe as well as his book Litany of The Long Sun. I don't actually watch the show, but I made sure to catch most of this episode just to see it for myself.

Upcoming Wolfe Events
The Chicago Literary Hall of Fame will be presenting Gene Wolfe with the "Fuller Award" on March 17th at the Sanfilippo Estate in Barrington Hills. There is an impressive list of guest speakers and entertainers followed by a dinner.
Even sooner is CapriCon, which is February 9th through the 12th in Wheeling, Illinois. Wolfe is involved in a number of panel discussions, one in particular that caught my eye was a discussion entitled "Dystopia Now" that will include not only Wolfe, but Cory Doctorow, Paul McComas and Nayad Monroe. Looks to be good fun.

Gene Wolfe by Neil Gaiman | Books | The Guardian
Whatever I imagined the author of those glittering, dangerous stories to have been, I was not expecting the genial gentleman I met

Locus Magazine - March Issue
This month's issue of Locus Magazine is sporting Gene Wolfe on the cover. I haven't read it yet but his interview is called "Engineering The Future" so my guess is that it's about science fiction technology becoming reality.
