PERTAINING to yesterday’s CRYPTIC POST regarding an ancient ritual known as THE LITTLE GRAY BOOK LECTURES…

HERE IS ONE of several promotional podcasts that JONATHAN COULTON and I made together in 2005 in which we played some of the best moments of the series, and then advertised an “upcoming” Lecture that is now far in the past. So please do not show up to it. You will be embarrassed to look so old among all of the young people in 2005 Williamsburg. 

(ALL PEOPLE AGE at the same time, right? There are no young people in Williamsburg anymore, right? RIGHT?)

Please also stay tuned to this space for the epic saga within a saga of TODAY IN RAGNAROK, the several day GEEK-JOCK CONVERGENCE cycle I am calling A SONG OF ICE AND MANGOLD. 

THAT IS ALL. 

.@sampotts goes deep in the closet to unearth this Little Gray Books Lecture tee shirt featuring Coulton, Brett Martin, Darin Strauss, and Elizabeth Gilbert.

I remember this beautiful night in 2001 vividly, and would do so even if I did not have audio-graphic evidence here:

That is all.

I know you have probably wondering what has been happening in RAGNAROK. 

(Of course, those of you who have bought THAT IS ALL already know)

TOMORROW I promise to catch up on on everything that has happened TODAY and the many days before TODAY IN RAGNAROK. 

I will roll them out slowly over the course of the day. Most of them have to deal with @nickmangold, avatar of the GEEK-JOCK CONVERGENCE.

Some of them will have to do with toxoplasmosis and cats. 

That is all.
