Mr. Show: What Happened? now available!
Hey everyone, just wanted to pass along this info:
---------------------------
MR. SHOW BOOK NOW AVAILABLE AT BOBandDAVID.com
"MR. SHOW -- WHAT HAPPENED?!" The ultimate insider's guide to one of the most daring, influential, and critically-acclaimed comedy shows on TV. From the first time it aired on late-night TV in 1995, Mr. Show began developing a cult-like following, which has only grown since the series' end.
Born out of the experimental "alternative" comedy scene in L.A., Bob Odenkirk and David Cross, two of the boldest, most innovative comedy minds to emerge in years, created a veritable comedy haven "where ideas hang out…and do whatever!" and discovered a perfect use of their brilliantly bent talents.
Though their road was long and unpaved, Bob and David never compromised their vision of the show, and, with the creative autonomy granted by HBO, the result was a comedy series that is fresh and sublimely funny.
Written by Naomi Odenkirk, this book chronicles Bob and David's journey from before their first awkward meeting to the taping of their final episode. It is chock-full of archival photos and artifacts, and features original, never-before-seen material plus a complete episode guide, making it a rich, unique time-caplet of what may be the period's most important and influential comedy movement.
--------------------------------------
In addition, Naomi Odenkirk is auctioning off AUTOGRAPHED copies (by both Bob
and David) of Mr. Show: What Happened? on ebay... Please check it out!

Umm.... no. Links to live ebay auctions are against forum rules. No more, please. [Benedict]

My bad about posting the ebay auction link.
I really wanted to help Naomi (Bob's wife), but may have overstepped my bounds.
I have skimmed through the book and have spoken to her, and I really wanted to help her promote the book. Here is a message on her behalf:
----
I am Bob's wife, and I'm using the auctions to promote the books' existence (and to help offset the $$$$$$$ it cost to produce the book). I hate the thought of fans thinking I am auctioning off books to take advantage of the fans.
----
I think the mods will be cool with me posting the bobanddavid.com link (the only place you can purchase the book, as it is not available in bookstores).

Oof. They had the book at their live shows for $30.00 and I knew the website price was $22.95 (before it was actually available online), so I decided to hold off.
Unfortunately the shipping is $7.50!
Yeowtch.

Hey Danger1313, Naomi Odenkirk read this and contacted her merchandise handler about the shipping costs. It's now $4.50 (Total shipped from Kung Fu Nation is now only $27.45).
