Fortean Blue Plaque

This plaque is just around the corner from where I work. I may have to pop along tonight.

Charles Hoy Fort was an American writer and researcher into anomalous phenomena, such as Jedi mind tricks, UFOs, raining frogs.

From The Londonist:

"Tonight is his birthday and there will be a brief celebration outside Fort’s home at 39 Marchmont Street, which has a plaque above it dedicated to Fort, at 6.30pm on Friday 6th August. Fort would enjoy beer and cheese with friends so there will be a toast, a short reading. Then we shall write FORT across Bloomsbury in a pub crawl in his honour visiting the Friend at Hand, Old Red Lion, Rugby Tavern and Truckles of Pied Bull Yard. All but the worst fundamentalists are welcome."
