People are already chiming in about the MNFTIU Iron Maiden Week rumors …

Reader JT imagines a full-on investigative project:

I would like to go on record fully supporting further journalistic investigation of the type that only you are capable of into all things Iron Maiden.

I think we can all agree that I would bring home about 50 journalism awards if I went into all-out investigative mode re: Iron Maiden.

Reader DS accidentally gets his mind blown:

So I read mnftiu via Google Reader rss feed along with other such notable blogs as the “Roger Ebert’s Journal,” wherein Roger Ebert is presently holding it down at the Toronto Film Festival, and while reading your Iron Maiden post I became momentarily disoriented and wound up believing that I was reading a Roger Ebert post about how much Iron Maiden is still rocking hard and how much of a Maiden superfan Roger Ebert is about to become.

LOL DID MNFTIU MAIDEN WEEK JUST BLOW MY MIND VERY MUCH BEFORE EVEN OFFICIALLY SETTING IT OFF????

Thank you, DS, for inspiring my latest fantasy New Yorker Festival panel: David Rees in conversation with Roger Ebert: “What We Talk About When We Talk About Iron Maiden.” Let’s make it happen.

My promise to you: I am going to win the first Iron-Maiden-related Pulitzer Prize.
