MANY OF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS. They are reasonable, and I will get to them all SOME DAY.

BUT FOR NOW, I will only answer THREE of them.

ANSWER ONE: the paperback edition of MORE INFORMATION THAN YOU REQUIRE will be available for you to purchase on NOVEMBER 3 of this year (2009).

As with my first book of COMPLETE WORLD KNOWLEDGE, this low-cost, much more flimsy SOFTCOVER edition will feature many UPDATES AND ERRATA.

IT WILL NOT INCLUDE any more HOBO NAMES or MOLE-MAN NAMES.

IT WILL INCLUDE 44 more PRESIDENT NAMES.

ANSWER TWO: the paperless (or “AUDIOBOOK”) edition of MORE INFORMATION THAN YOU REQUIRE will be available for you to purchase EVEN EARLIER, on OCTOBER 29.

THE REASON FOR THE DISCREPANCY BETWEEN THESE DATES IS MYSTERIOUS!

MANY GUESTS joined me in the “recordo-pod” for this trip around the turntable, including the legendary super-group: CAVETT, COULTON, GALIFIANAKIS, GLASS, GOLDWASSER, GERVAIS, MADDOW, RUDD, F. TOMPKINS, & VOWELL (or as they were known when they used to play stadiums in the seventies, CCGGGGMRFT&V)

PLUS: all 700 MOLE-MAN NAMES as they were recorded LIVE BEFORE A STUDIO AUDIENCE in a lair beneath UNION HALL, in Brooklyn, NY.

ANSWER THREE: I will be visiting various cities and townships in America to present material from these two editions.

AND WHAT’S MORE, they are listed over there in the box marked “TODAY… IN THE FUTURE.”

That is all.

DAY THREE of reading my book into a microphone (OR TRICKING OTHER PEOPLE INTO DOING SO) is now complete.

MORE DAYS OF SAME to come, but it has been a delightful thrill so far. A THRILL CONTAINED IN A VERY SMALL, HOT, AIRLESS ROOM so that the thrill cannot escape.

YESTERDAY I WORE A TUXEDO in the booth, and I did my imitation of a ukulele-ist as well. I regret there are no photos of this, though plenty others exist.

BUT LET ME PAUSE NOW and say:

FRIENDS, IF YOU SUFFER FROM POOR MOOD AND ILL CONFIDENCE, you could do worse than walk around in a tuxedo with a UKULELE. It is a marvelous combination, which I dubbed on Twitter the TUXUKE, until enough members of the twitter HIVE MIND pointed out that that sounds like some sort of Japanese tuxedo/ukulele porn.

IT MADE ME RECALL that I don’t recall if Dent May rocked the full TUXULELE when we both appeared at the great THACKER MOUNTAIN RADIO in Oxford, MS last fall. But he clearly does own a tuxedo, as THIS EMBEDDED MEDIA will prove.

THAT IS ALL.
