Goodies gathered from here and elsewhere:

Saya Espanola: Images and Information Concerning Late 16th C. Spanish Court Dress for Women - will look through when I have time; I'm especially curious about the colors as at least one person has suggested that the colors might be more flattering on me than the Elizabethan trends for russet and tawney (these just don't fly on olive skin. Yes, I've tried! :P)

Alton Brown, the Slashdot Interview - cooking for geeks, Mr. Wizard in the kitchen. Cool stuff.

gothic1920s - it's gothic, it's flappers, it's user pix and artwork and other pretty stylized things. Check it out :)

Reviews of the LOTR Costume Exhibit in Boston - mostly text as photos aren't allowed, but plenty of detail can be found if you wade through long enough. I'm not a huge LOTR fan, but you never know when you might need an elfin ballgown, you know?

Haven't seen that book, but will keep it in mind. Thank you for the heads up!

Also, dig the listing for the National Book Festival (http://www.loc.gov/bookfest/04/authors/index.html) in October (link courtesy geekchick. If I can find out pricing on this, I'm going to try and go :)
