The Website for People Who Love Britain - Anglophiles
From St. Louis, Missouri, comes Anglophile, pop culture/SF writer, DJ and all around pop culture geek Rob Levy. Since 1996 Rob has served as president of the United States' oldest Doctor Who/British media fan club, The St. Louis Celestial Intervention Agency. The CIA meets regularly in St. Louis and participates in programming at many local and national conventions, including Dragon Con, where Rob is a loyal Brit Track participant for 15 years. When not working or observing the world around him, Rob watches way too much TV, reads a lot, wears black, travels, goes to shows, and traipses around used book and record stores with great fervor. He has a passion for history and a strange fascination with subway systems. He loves board games, baseball, supports Liverpool and loves a wicked curry.
