Today’s Birmingham News has a piece on Tuesday’s History of the World event at the University of Alabama-Birmingham, which will star _floss co-founder Will Pearson (pictured above, costumeless) and co-author Erik Sass (not pictured). We’re hoping the guy in the frog outfit shows up (in the frog outfit). Here’s what else is on the itinerary:
Tuesday, November 11: Birmingham, AL
Alys Stephens Center (Sirote Theatre)
7:00pm
Tuesday, November 11: Brooklyn, NY
Diamond Bar
43 Franklin St.
8:00pm
Wednesday, November 12: Cambridge, MA
Grafton Street Bar
1256 Massachusetts Ave.
9:00pm
Friday, November 14: Brooklyn, NY
Barnes & Noble (Park Slope)
267 7th Ave.
7:00pm
Thursday, November 20: Durham, NC
Barnes & Noble
5400 New Hope Commons
7:30pm
So if you live near those places or you’re up for a road trip, we’d love to pack the crowds with friendly faces. I’ll be joining our other co-founder Mangesh Hattikudur and Senior Editor Jenny Drapkin at Tuesday’s event in Brooklyn. Don’t let us ask trivia questions to an empty bar.

I live in New Jersey.
I could be there sooo easily.
Problem?
School nights and NYC do not mix well together, AT ALL!
And on Friday I have this Wolf Parade concert, in Montclair, that I have been waiting MONTHS for.
This blows.

I live in Birmingham, but sadly, Municipal Waste are playing tomorrow night and Municipal Waste > Mental Floss.
I missed you guys at the Moss Rock party, too. I live just a few minutes from the neighborhood where that picture was taken, but I didn’t find out until the day after.

I’m planning on being at the Cambridge event, but…How will we know when to show up?! I don’t want to miss anything!

Katie — 9pm!! (I just found out.)

Thanks, Jason! If all else failed, I would have went at 7pm since the majority of the other events are happening at that time, so the update is much appreciated! Parking may be better in Harvard Sq. at that time, too. But that’s a big maybe.

*Sad face from the poor college student*
I’d totally spontaneously take a train to New York, but alas I haven’t any money to spare.
*Sigh*

Score! I’m in Brooklyn so I’ll totally go to Williamsburg tonight and I’ll try to bring my nerdy (read: knowledge junkie) friends….even if it means taking the G train.

Aw, why no love for the west coast? Do you have any California events planned? San Francisco is a pretty big city… although, if you can manage to stop somewhere in the South Bay area (how about a little town called Mountain View – you could see where the Google headquarters are!) I know of a few fans that would love to see you. (hint, hint)
