Note that those renowned, humorless bastids at Amazon.com have removed all but the most recent of the lovely phony reviews posted at Eggers' behest. "Number of Reviews: 17" posted by EngineBeak at 10:06 PM PST on March 2 | permalink
I bet the humorless neenerhead from Virginia, whose review begins with a complaint/mischaracterization ("e-contributions to this column"?) of the fake reviews, responsibly notified the dear sirs or madams at Amazon who maintain the pages that their "helpful customer-review e-column is being abused by twentysomething cage-rattlers." posted by EngineBeak at 10:49 PM PST on March 2 | permalink
Speaking of irony/eggers, Dave was quite the gentleman the whole evening and would frequently interrupt to ask us "hey, is anything going on tonight in seattle, I have nothing to do..."
How charming, we all felt bad that we were not doing something more interesting that we could entice the charming Mr Eggers into doing with us. The last question of the night was from a saucy blonde in the corner. She asked "could I take you out on the town tonight?" at which point the irony king admitted that he was going out with friends and was not, in fact, really and truly free that evening.
