Spotted this also earlier today, but lacked the martian equivalent or pumpkins to post it. I'm glad you did. L is for love, to be sure.

Definitely the catchiest tune I've heard in a long time. I'll be happily singing it all day.

I was glad to find out that this girl is also the author of the song.
America shoud be proud of its youth!

I was wondering when this was going to make it on the Bradbury board. A lot of other authors have been pimping this video (Neil Gaiman for one) thinking it's very funny.

I just asked her on facebook if she seriously was a true fan of Mr. Bradbury, she is indeed. And it was not me asking, but she is real in other places as well.

Saw the link from Pavel via Facebook.

Rachel Bloom (who wrote and performed the video) posted on her site - "It's official via e-mail: Ray loved the video!!!"

I just talked to someone very close to Ray and as far as we know he hasn't seen it yet, but will this coming Sunday on his 60 inch wide screen TV. It will be interesting to see what he thinks of it.

A girl on Facebook (Susan Gerbic-Forsyth) visited Ray and took a bunch of photos and one is of him looking at a laptop screen. She said she showed the video to him yesterday. But, she does not say anything about him "Liking it".

Part of what she posted - "Very nice man. He chuckled at one point during the video, not sure but I think it was when Rachel said she carved their initials on a Halloween tree. If interested people can go to my FB albums and see one called "Bradbury, magic @ Iig" and see the pictures one, taken while he was watching video and read about our adventure yesterday."

I would be really curious as to find out if Ray found this vulgar or found it funny?

So would I, but I'm willing to bet he laughed out loud at the part with her slapping the gal in the Vonnegut shirt!

Which makes it even cuter when you consider they have the same initials!

I had not thought of that dandelion. You are right they do have the same initials.

Here is the first interview I have seen with Rachel Bloom.

Hey - It is now August 22!!! Happy Birthday, Ray!!!

I was just about to post the Aint It Cool update (with funny photo of Ray's face), but I see someone's sort of beat me to the punch.
Here, anyway: http://www.aintitcool.com/node/46222
