So I'm wasting time at work today cruising around Ebay.  Haven't looked for any
pre-B5 JMS items for a while so I do a seach for 'Straczynski'.  And what to my
wondering eyes should appear but this

ad for a DVD set for a 1963 puppetry show called Space Patrol that says it has
an interview with you on it.  Considering that in 1963 you were around 9, how
did you end up doing an interview for the DVD set (and what did you say)?

And if that weren't enough, there's this book
http://cgi.ebay.com/SPACE-PATROL-Complete-Series-DVD-NEW_W0QQitemZ6478753009QQcategoryZ41589QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
by William Lashner with "...a femme fatale (improbably but appropriately) named
Alura Straczynski,..." and I've got to wonder who (if anyone) lost a bet?

The good news is that I've got a Pulphouse from 1992 with a JMS story in it on
the way.

Eh, that appears to be some legal thriller called "Past Due".

There is a book, though, on Amazon:

Exactly what it was meant to be.  My original post was about Space Patrol and
then asked about the book which has a character named Alura Straczynski.

Interesting.  Looks like JMS wasn't the only one the show reached.

That's not the same show...in the UK the series was called Space
Patrol, but because in the US there was another show by that name, they
changed the name of the series to Planet Patrol for North America.
This link is to the other, non-puppet-based series.
