Joint Mathematics Meetings 2008 - San Diego screening of 'Flatland: the Movie'
Here we are right before the movie started. It played on 2 screens to nearly 1300 people!
For the first time, being sold side by side, the Movie and the new book from Princeton Press! We must have signed hundreds!
I don't remember what we were discussing, but it was probably awesome.
The awesome team from Princeton made us homemade, individualized Flatland shirts! I won 'the tallest' award!
It was a great trip, although I didn't get to go to the San Diego Zoo or meet up with Robert Schneider. But wait until you see those books!

What is it with number 3?
On Amazon.com, 'Flatland: The Movie' is the 3rd product listed when you do a search for 'flatland'. We were lingering at 4 for a long while, but look out No. 2!!!
On Current.com, "I Think I'm Dead" is Number 3 on the homepage. It doesn't seem to be any indication of our popularity, but over 100 people per hour seem to be watching it. Pass it on, pot-humor afficionados! ***Update: we were just bounced to 4 because some lady named Amy Winehouse is going to rehab, which is apparently ironic.***
Also, Amazon.com is now shipping copies of our new Flatland movie edition book! Get yours today! It should be coming to Borders and Barnes & Noble stores near you very soon (along with the Home Edition DVD)!!!

A Sci-Fi Department review of "A Boy and His Dog". Somehow I doubt you'll find this movie at Blockbuster...

Just in time for Cloverfield, Kevin Maher of the Sci Fi Department examines previous monstrous attacks on the Big Apple.
We just returned from San Diego where we shared a booth with Princeton Press for 'Joint Mathematics Meetings 2008.' We filled a 1400 seat ballrooom nearly to capacity for our screening of the movie, and for the next two days we could barely take a break from signing books and DVDs. Needless to say, schools across the US and the world are going to expose their students to a new take on Flatland.
Also, I'm helping my pal Kevin at AMCTV.com by reposting his Science Fiction webshow: the Sci-Fi Department. So enjoy these weekly episodes and please click-through to leave comments!
