If the last item were narrated by Gardner, it would probably have to be
a late night activity... after the impressionable folks have all gone to
bed.

There's a bibliography (goes up to only 1997) at
http://www.sff.net/people/Waldrop/ along with links to other Waldrop
web stuff.

You mauy be able to get this: Custer's Last Jump and Other
Collaborations<http://www.goldengryphon.com/custer-frame.html> at your
local bookstore.  The publisher does have national distribution.

And Howard "I have no computer" Waldrop has a blog:
http://www.infinitematrix.net/columns/waldrop/

He has the only reprint in the almost all original All Star Zeppelin
Adventure Stories <http://www.allstarstories.com/>, which I do have a
few copies of; heheheheheheh....
