----------
Dave Who?
----------
No, not Dave Who, Dave _Barry_.  Dave Barry is a syndicated columnist
whose humorous articles appear in hundreds of newspapers every week.  When
he's not writing his columns for the enjoyment of the world, he writes for 
the Miami Herald's Tropic Magazine.  Dave has won a Pulitzer Prize for his 
humor columns and is the lead guitarist in a rock band called the _Rock 
Bottom Remainders_.  Plus, Dave is the leader of the Urban Professionals 
and an all-around nice guy who tries to protect his readers from the dangers 
of the world around them, like exploding cows and trout falling from the sky.  
This newsgroup is *not* about David Barry, the auto writer for Vogue Magazine.


-----------
Where Can I Read Dave's Articles?
-----------
Well, if you want to get your weekly dose of Dave in your local newspaper,
check out the list at the end of the FAQ.  It contains the names of 
hundreds of newspapers and magazines across the United States and around 
the world that carry Dave Barry's articles on a regular basis.  For those 
of you who are too lazy to get up from your computers, keep reading...

(DISCLAIMER: This is not an advertisement or endorsement of any service,
newspaper, or magazine mentioned, but is intended merely as a response to 
one of the most frequently asked question in the newsgroup, 
alt.fan.dave_barry.)


------------
Where Can I FTP/Get Dave's Articles Over the Net?
------------
Dave Barry is a Professional Writer.  His job is (I'm not making this up...)
to sit around playing flight simulation games until a thought hits him
(usually just before deadline), write it down, then send it in to his
editor.  His articles are not in the public domain.  Remember, it is a
violation of copyright laws to reproduce Dave's column (by any means,
including electronically), so don't even think about typing one in and
posting it.

However, if you subscribe to the San Jose Mercury News's "Mercury Center
Web" service, you can read Dave's latest column, plus browse through
a library of his older columns on their WWW page.  The Mercury News
has also started a service called NewsHound, through which you can 
get Dave's column e-mailed to you (it's a bit expensive, but you can
get other things in addition to Dave's column).  For more information
on the Mercury Center Web service, check out 
http://www.sjmercury.com/main.htm (no, that's not a typo... there's no
"L" on the end of the address) and select "About our Service".
For information about the NewsHound service, check out 
http://www.sjmercury.com/hound.htm .  Or, for information by phone about
any San Jose Mercury News service, call 1-800-818-NEWS.


-----------
Ah, but What About AOL Users?
-----------
Funny you should ask.  Yes, America On-Line users actually have a 
leg up on the rest of us for a change.  For those of you AOL'ers
out there, use the Keyword: MERCURY (to go to the San Jose
Mercury News), select the Bay Area Living icon, and then select
(I'm not making this up) Electronic Boogers.  [thanks to Mike Ward
(mward@crl.com) for this info]


-----------
Is there a Dave Barry WWW page?
-----------
The San Jose Mercury has set up a nice WWW page about Dave Barry. 
The page features links to a few Dave Barry related WWW pages, plus,
if you're a "Mercury Center Web" subscriber, you can read Dave's
latest columns plus browse through a library of old columns.  See
the information on getting Dave's columns on the Net above for more
information on subscribing.  The URL for the page is:
http://www.sjmercury.com/dbhome.htm (no, that's not a typo... there's no
"L" on the end of the address).

Jon Grimes also has a lovely Dave Barry WWW page set up.  Its address
is http://www.goodnet.com/~jg61379/db.html .


-----------
Is there a mailing list version of this newsgroup?
-----------
Nope.


-----------
How can I Write to Dave?
-----------
To write to Dave Barry (and get your very own postcard reply from "The
Man" himself), write to:

.Dave Barry
.c/o Tropic Magazine
.Miami Herald
.1 Herald Plaza
.Miami, FL  33132


-------------
Does Dave read this newsgroup?
-------------
Yup.  He used to even post once in a while.


-------------
Can I send E-Mail to Dave?
-------------
Yup.


-------------
Well?  Aren't you going to tell me his address?
-------------
Nope.  Dave doesn't want his address in the FAQ.  If you really want it,
watch the group for one of his posts and get the address off that.  But
Dave would just as soon have you post to alt.fan.dave_barry rather than
send personal mail, and he'll see your note on the newsgroup.


-------------
Is there a non-Internet Dave Barry Fan Club?
-------------
Why, yes there is...  The Dave Barry Fan Club puts out a newsletter 
three times a year entitled "We're Not Making This Up" which features
info about Dave and personal letters from him (he fills out a questionairre
for each issue).  To recieve the newsletter (through regular mail,
not e-mail) send $6 ($4.50 for members of Mensa) for a year (or $1 for
a 1 issue sample) to:
.Rocky Lefarth

-------------
What's this about a Dave Barry TV show?
-------------
[Thanks to "Alert Viewers" ;-) Brett Doehr (doehr@den.mmc.com) and
Laura Troise (troislaa@barnard.columbia.edu) for most of this information]

The show is called "Dave's World", and it is on a local CBS affiliate
near you at 8:00pm (7:00 Central & Mountain) Wednesday nights.  The show
is based on the books "Dave Barry Turns 40" and "Dave Barry's Greatest
Hits".  In the show, Dave has 2 kids and one dog (as opposed to 1 kid
and 2 dogs in real life (Zippy got cut)) and Dave works for the
_Miami_Record_Dispatch_ Sunday Magazine Section (instead of the
_Miami_Herald_ "Tropic" Magazine).  The real Dave Barry has appeared
in one episode in the first season of the series, in which he played
a guy who gets into a bidding war with the Barry's to purchase an air
conditioner.  The real Dave and the fake Dave (Harry Anderson)
played/sang "Wild Thing" during the closing credits.

Recently, Dave had a "Worst Song" Contest.  What did he pick as the worst
Rock and Roll Song of All Time?
-------------
"MacArthur Park", written by Jim Webb, performed by Richard Harris in 1968
and later in 1978 by Donna Summer.


-------------
On the Topic of Bad Music, What's That Band that Dave's In?
-------------
Dave is the lead guitarist for the rock band, The Rock Bottom Remainders.
The group includes such popular writers as Dave Barry (lead guitar,vocals), 
Stephen King (rhythm guitar,vocals), Ridley Pearson (bass guitar), Amy Tan 
(vocals), Barbara Kingsolver (keyboards), Robert Fulghum (backup vocals), 
Roy Blount Jr. (backup vocals), Dave Marsh (backup vocals), Tad Bartimus 
(backups vocals), and organizer Kathi Goldmark (backup vocals).  The group 
was put together by Goldmark at a writers convention in 1991.  They named 
the band after the bookstore practice of selling last year's bestsellers at 
bargain rates.  Music veteren Al Kooper is the band's musical director and 
plays keyboards and guitar with the band.  The group went on its first tour 
in May, 1993, with the proceeds going to the Right to Rock Network and a 
variety of literacy and First Amendment organizations.  Their motto is, "We 
play music as well as Metallica writes novels."

A book about the Rock Bottom Remainders has been published, entitled
"Mid-Life Confidential: The Rock Bottom Remainders Tour America with
Three Chords and an Attitude" (see "Other Stuff" section under "What
Books Has Dave Written" below for more info).


-------------
What is Tropic Hunt?
-------------
Tropic Hunt is a combination scavenger hunt and brain puzzle held in the Miami
area which is hosted by the Miami Herald's Tropic Magazine every spring.  
Dave is one of the Hunt's creators and he helps organize it.  Asides from
that, it's hard to explain.


--------------
Is there a Dave Barry Screen Saver for my computer?
--------------
Yes!  Second Nature Software has put out a "Dave Barry Screensaver".
It's available at least for MS Windows (possibly other operating
systems too).  It contains 24 MacNelly cartoons which illustrate
Dave Barry's columns.  The column that goes with each of the cartoons
is available on-line at the click of a button.  The Dave Barry
screensaver should be available at any large chain of software
stores.  If you can't find it in your area, you can download 
Second Nature Software's catalog (and order, get a sampler, etc)

Where Can I read Everything that Dave Writes?
-------------
Dave is a full-time writer for the _Miami Herald_.  
Ted Goldblatt writes,
."His 'normal' column is found in Tropic, which is the sunday
.magazine.  Assorted other items show up periodically, scattered
.around the paper (national news - probably most of these are
.also made available to the syndicators, local news - I would
.guess no one but us sees these, and sports seem to be the most
.common).  I don't know from down here how much of what dave writes
.beyond the sunday columns is seen by the rest of the world; it's
.sorta funky that he's 'just' another columnist for the local paper!"
