When I agreed to let McSwys drag out the dusty old internet afterimages of my advice column ASK A FORMER PROFESSIONAL LITERARY AGENT from their forgiving archives, I was of course flattered and very happy.
It did not occur to me that of course it might naturally spark a round of new questions that you will want the answered.
And so I promise, Jason S. Blumberg (and a few others), I WILL answer your questions, but only as I have always done: slowly, inaccurately, and slowly.
Check back here in the future for answers (or links to same) or only to test your patience.
That is all.
I normally don’t repeat a press release verbatim, but I have Ken Plume on the phone, and this is what he has to say about his new internet venture:
“The regrettable and rather lackluster internet efforts of Ken Plume may now be found once more at QUICKSTOP ENTERTAINMENT. You may recall the often mediocre work of Mr. Plume from such ventures as IGN.com and his important contributions to the historiography of the Muppets, and he will also be appearing as Henchman #20 in the forthcoming season of THE VENTURE BROTHERS, premiering this Sunday. He is told he sounds like Jeff Goldblum.” END COPY.
You should check out Plume’s interviews with Terry Gilliam and other Americans who like or look like Muppets at this website, and supposedly he will finally air via podcast a conversation he had with the author of my book finally, finally.
That is all.

Jesse Thorn, one of the finest interviewers I have heard on radio and to my ears the best new voice on public radio, had an amazing talk with my label-mate George Saunders on his radio program THE SOUND OF YOUNG AMERICA on 6-10-06. Luckily, I am always up to date on my postings. Go here for to hear an excerpt from the interview, and by all means subscribe to the show.
And to answer Jesse’s blog call for a capellists, COULTON was not only an a capellist but a goddamned Whiffenpoof.
In other embarrassingly late news, Mr. Adam Mazmanian has been successfully photographed.
That is all.
