So, in case you were wondering, we got Poe. Definitively. And because of 400 Philadelphians chanting down the lead Poe geek from Baltimore. The terms are as follows: Poe’s “rep” is somehow officially switched here, so scholars and people at cocktail parties (do those still happen?) can say things like “Well, I don’t know much Rammstein, but legendary proto-Goth and Philadelphian Edgar Allen Poe says…,” and so on. Meanwhile, Baltimore gets to keep the body, because seriously, we’re gonna dig this old codger up? When we already have a perfectly functioning Goth overlord? Besides, Baltimore definitely has a knack for doing things with dead bodies.
