Or, how not to see the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa: This event takes place late in the book, just as I've started to travel and try to see how all the stuff shoved into my head might mean anything.

Here's a the first of several short clips from a reading of Trebekistan I did for the Mensa World Gathering in Orlando in the middle of August.

(I'm not in Mensa, btw. And why were we in central Florida in the hottest days of August? As I've noted before: because Mensa is full of geniuses.)

If you're from the midwest, you've probably shopped at one of these stores in a neighborhood like the one I came from. I hope this brings back a few fun memories.
