Here is an article that was in the paper this morning "If the meticulously produced 35-second teaser is anything to go by..." - Oh dear. I'm afraid that ruined the article for me. Same here. Apart from that it was a pretty good article, though.
UPDATE TIME
Third and final day of DH in Melbourne. He's doing this thing. I won't actually liveblog it, but I will make - to quote A.A. Milne's Rabbit - General Remarks.

Well, I typed out a recap and lost it somehow. I have no idea how.
When I've retyped the whole motherflipping thing again, you shall have the recap you guys so desire.

Alrighty. Totally wore my accordion pin.Upon arrival, I was greeted with Seth's depiction of our favourite femme fatale watching the 2012 publicity team's favourite thing take place through her window.As the website says, the event began with a musical performance from a guy from Big Scary, a Melbourne band that's pretty good. Mr H showed us a clip from a Hitchcock film to make a point about bewildered children. In many many ways, his sermon was almost identical to this speech he gave in Cincinnati. This bugged me because, though I love that speech, I was hoping for a lot of new stuff. Here are three stories imparted to Melbourne today that I'm sure are familiar to you: 1) the-hotel-room-in-Atlanta-had-a-note-pinned-to-the-wall-saying-I'm-going-to-kill-you, B) the letter from a young lady called Brandi who is "always curious when something happens", III) the Dear Abby letter from the busy mother who fell downstairs with her infant son "Carl". In fact, in the speech I linked to Daniel discusses very real eagle-related dangers, and this is what he looked like describing them today. (Less blurry in real life, though.) He also left out the "behavioural philosopher" gag, boo hiss. ?4: A murder on a train turns out to have been committed by someone not on the train. Dunno if we have that piece of info yet, but meh. After the sermon, we had a live game show (yes, really). I will expand more later if you wish. Team B had swag, but got owned by Team 1.To finish,we had another song (very pretty), then (dun dun DUN) the signing. At the signing, I was hilarious. This won't surprise any of you, naturally, but I'm proud of amusing Handler. I got WAP, 29MOTSP and my ancient cd of The Tragic Treasury signed. When I presented this eclectic mix, he said "look at what we have here. My word." I said "mine too," then gestured at the books and said "mostly your words, though". Bedum tsss. I remarked that I was one of yesterday's huggers (good name for a band, I just realised), and he said he remembered, having been there. I said that I thought maybe he had had lots of hugs, and he said no, mostly handshakes. BSam, he asked after you. What a dear. That's all for now, and I have typed this out twice and Daniel is probably well and truly at the airport by now, and arrrgh I have no idea how I lost the first one but anyhoo.

That secular sermon thing sounds cool.

The audio was recorded and put on YouTube for the MWF talk. Thought I'd share.

Yay, thank you. Listen to it, people. Listen. Let it fill your ears and minds until nothing else is left.

Thank you once again for all of your efforts during Mr. Handler's Australian experiences, Lemona; I haven't been around to comment upon many of the most recent ones, but I've enjoyed looking over them now.
