Are you coming, Andy?

I'm a few days early, but I want to go on the record that I would be perfectly ecstatic if Andy Kaufman (LA Weekly article) emerges from 20 years of hiding this Sunday, May 16. Jen and I have been discussing this off and on for the past week, and it's entirely plausible (or, at least a good meme for this week).

Hey, if some total idiot credit fraudster can hide in California for 12 years, Andy Kaufman can pull off the greatest performance art stunt in history since Rasputin "died."

Either result is awe inspiring. If he's truly dead, think for a moment that he managed to get enough people to believe that he might do it that we're still speculating two decades later. That's entertainment.
