David Andignac is a copywriter/designer/multimedia developer for an
Atlanta-based software company. He is 25 and recently married. Originally
hailing from New Orleans, he double majored in English and Advertising at
the University of Alabama (Home of Dwight Eddins author of The Gnostic
Pynchon which David hasn't read and is wondering if anyone out there has
read it.) He is an avid film buff (what do you have to do to become a buff?)
and a self confessed tube-a-holic.

David became curious about Gravity's Rainbow after stumbling across it in a
bookstore and recognizing the title from the Laurie Anderson song. At the
time he didn't know it was a reference. 

Read Lot 49, Gravity's Rainbow (after three tries) then Vineland, V. and
finally Slow Learner.

Currently Reading: The Illuminatus! Trilogy, Infinite Jest and The 50
Greatest Conspiracies of All Time. David has found the Pynchon list to be a
great source of suggested reading.

He is enjoying watching the tension build as Atlanta prepares for the great
event next week. (We can't use trademarked, logos, phrases or thoughts names
in written communication, ACOG is watching.)

He has also noticed that there aren't many southerners on the list. Any
theories?
