Well, Douglas Adams was here at the University of Maryland tonight, along
with copies of his new book "So Long, And Thanks For All The Fish", the
fourth book in the The Hitchhiker's Trilogy.  I have the hardcover edition
in my hot little hands at this moment, and can't wait to start.

During the two hours that he was here, he mentioned that production of the
MOVIE version of The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy is due to begin in
the first half of 1985.  He also said to watch for The Hitchhiker's Guide
To The Galaxy VIDEO GAME to appear in the next few weeks. (Just in time
for Christmas).

It was a weird, wonderful couple of hours with Douglas Adams.. he did a
number of readings from The Restaurant At The End Of The Universe and
Life, The Universe And Everything.  What a guy!
