was in high school. When I first read ROSENCRANTZ AND GUILDENSTERN ARE DEAD, teenage me didn't get it — it seemed impenetrable on the page. But then I read it out loud with a friend, and it sprang to life, full of jokes and insight and cleverness. For that experience alone, I owe him so much. 2/2

Off the top of my head, I know Back to the Future parts 2 & 3 were filmed simultaneously. There may be earlier examples!

You might enjoy the Elvis Costello classic "American without Tea."

The very one! Enjoy! (I never participated in a PBM game, but I had a D&D friend circa 1982 who did for a little while and showed me some of the letters he got as a result; apparently it made more of an impression that I thought at the time.)
