Bee Thousand 33 1/3

Thursday, November 02, 2006

My able and wonderful assistant Yolande has just completed an Index for the book (which is not, of course, actually included in the book given who we are and how we operate around here). We are working on a 33 1/3 series size supplement printed in a suitably Bee Thousand-esque way to be distributed at readings and Robert Pollard shows during the upcoming Normal Happiness tour dates (books will be available at the shows) to those of you who get your hands on the books at those events.

I think there's real poetry in Yolande's categories and here are a few excerpts from the index. The 'B's' are especially exciting, as you'll see (but don't discount the allure of the 'R's'):
