Stephanie, of Boomershoot fame, has been trying to get Dave Barry (yes, the Dave Barry) to attend Boomershoot 2008. To further entice him she offered to blow up a low-flow (or whatever they are called) toilet for him. She received a call from an assistant who told her that Mr. Barry was already committed for the weekend. Then we received a postcard from Mr. Barry a few days ago:
It turns out there is more than one Dave Barry in the world and we will have a Dave Barry attending Boomershoot 2008. But not nearly as many people know of him as the one from Miami.
According to this site, there are 12 people named “Dave Barry” in the United States.
I like that you got a postcard from the one in Miami, though.
Have you tried P.J. O’Rourke?
Kevin,
No. But I have forwarded your suggestion to Stephanie.
Thanks!
