*Evil laugh*

*Resolves to go ahead*

[insomniac]

[Danny]

Pls rmmbr ths: Nvr, evr, trst thos gys frm Kprshtskan.

[Siouxie]

Most excellent!

[Mahatma Kane Jeeves ‹(•¿•)›]

Is science fair?

[random thunking]

Soooooo... are we expect a forthcoming film adaptation of this literary masterbationpiece?

[Annie Where-but-here]

Is our children learning science fair?

[Meanie the Blue]

[Note to NYC area bloglits - please contact me (put cursor on my name below to see my email address) if you want to arrange something around this Dave/Ridley appearance, or if you just want to meet some fellow members of the Order Of The Blog. I've got one definite beside myself, one likely, and one maybe so far

Please bring disinfectant for the secret handshake.]

[Mahatma Kane Jeeves ‹(•¿•)›]

While waiting for the book to come out, how 'bout a round of Twister?

[Danny]

Wow! You can count on those Hubble kids for an awesome science project!

[Punkin]

So NOW we know what Dave's basement looks like!

Disney's not paying too much these days, eh?

[Margaritaville]

Danny, that was supposed to be a private matter.

[Margaritaville]

And it scares me that Dave and Ridley might be influencing an entire generation.

[Siouxie]

Punkin, I think they drank their budget (iycmd)

[Lairbo]

So, it's a movie already? Kewl.

ps: MtB; move me from the "maybe" and/or "likely" column into the "definite" category. I'll email with a couple of meet 'n' greet watering hole possibilities nearby.

[Siouxie]

Hey Meanie?? Lairbo?? Have a slice of pizza and a beer on me! Wish I could join ya's butt, we'll be having our own book signing soiree here in Miyami.

[Lairbo]

Siouxie: done and done.

Would it be too weird for Dave to liveblog his own booksigning? Very post-modern. I'm not saying he should, just thinking out loud again.

[judi]

i THINK this was a project with a university in texas... a filmmaking class? but i don't recall the details; as soon as i get them i will put the credits in the info box on youtube.

[Cheryl Howard]

I plan on stalking seeing Dave in Portland OR. Hope to catch up with the Pacific NW Order for some stimulating conversation about the book a beer!

[Mike Antonucci]

This better work, Dave. My Disney stock is going down the toilet.

[cowhand214]

And when can we expect to see this Academy Award vehicle award vehicle in theaters?

[CJrun]

BOOOooooOOOWAAAAAAHAHAHAhahat was purty funny!

[Meanie the Blue]

Well, I appreciate the sentiment, Siouxie, but my and Lairbo's butts really don't need joining, thank you.

I'm sure Lairbo is of like mind.

[Suzy Q]

That's quite a rollout for a book.

You sure about that Meanie? Lairbo said he's "definite."

[Lairbo]

Let's knock it off with the cheeky comments, already.

[Siouxie]

Heh! that just cracks me up!

[PeeJay]

cowhand214: I'm pretty sure this is on the fast-track to being released straight to...............................wait for it, "Beta" If any of you young whippersnappers remember "Beta"

[Not My Usual Alias]

Hopefully the book signing in Chicagoland won't be on Halloween again!

I'm thinking that the day after Thanksgiving should be a quiet shopping day.

[Diva]

NMUA - Naperville is set for 10/15. :) Happy signing!!

[Jazzzz]

Finally, a drama.

[Jazzzz]

does this have Chuck Norris, and Ah-node, and Sly?

[Diva]

Looks more like it might star Bill Nye....

[nora]

we're in! judi and siouxie: drink before/after the miami signing?

[Annie Where-but-here]

nora - yes.

[Suzy Q]

What Annie said. There is ALWAYS drinking before/after book signings.

[Not My Usual Alias]

There is a Hubble Middle School in Wheaton, Illinois, a few miles from the Naperville book signing. Apparently Jim Belushi made quite a stir at an assembly at his grade school alma mater when he indicated that education was not important a couple of weeks ago, so Dave might be able to get some mileage from a pro-literacy position.

[Steve (The 24 Guy)]

That "Evil Laughing Guy" looks like Mike McShane... Is that who it was?

[WriterDude]

I see the resemblance too, Steve. But unless McShane has dropped a lot of weight and gained a lot of gray since "Big Trouble", I'm thinking not.

[Lairbo]

Yeah, I'd have sworn it was McShane when I first watched it. Now I'm not so sure, so I'm downgrading my swear to "dagnabbit" until further notice.

[Jazzzz]

here I am, minding my own binniss, and I get a visual of Lairbo's and Meanie's butts being co-joined.....please kill me

[Annie Where-but-here]

The frog was a pretty good actor. I think I've seen him somewhere before.

[jug]

High School biology class maybe Annie?

[circuit7]

All your schools are belong to us.

[Jazzzz]

Kermit...... He's had Bo-Tox ™ injections

[Jazzzz]

Or BUTTOX...

[danceswithvowels]

Yep, Anderson's in Naperville at 7:00 PM in one week, on Wednesday the 15th. That's only a day after the book comes out, so that'll require Just-In-Time delivery for added excitement!

I'll be teleporting in from my day job at a National Science Fair Laboratory about 8 miles away, coincidentally about the same distance as Hubble Middle School is from Anderson's.

If history is any guide, anybody who wants to spot the famous authors in their natural habitat can probably do so by showing up earlier two doors down at Lou Malnati's. UnFortunately, there's no need to be watching any baseball next week. Anybody want to meet up there about 6:00? Alias? Cat? Bueller?

[Cat R]

Hey, dances! I'm planning on being there -- my kids want to come, which means I'll be squeaking in around 7pm. They met Dave and Ridley two years ago for a Starcatchers signing. They also remember their mom acting like a star-struck doofus, but that's nothing new.

(Dave, remember to heed my then-10-year-old's advice when you read aloud: "Use more expression.")

Oh, and the eye patches were a huge hit then. Maybe you should give out beakers or something this time. Just a suggestion. Expectations are high.

[danceswithvowels]

Cool, Cat! I'll be on lookout for you. I haven't decided on a costume yet, but it probably won't involve floating hands and eyepatches, arrrr.

[Cat R]

Costume? Yikes! I'd better start planning now!

[Cat R]

Oh, and those floating hands look like a Photoshop Disasters entry.

[Not My Usual Alias]

I fear that my Naperville costume may have to be "Soccer Coach" complete with an authentic youth soccer player. With sunset at 6:11 pm (in the cheap neighborhoods west of Naperville, we get an extra minute of daylight), I have a decent chance at getting to Lou's about ten minutes before the signing.

[Siouxie]

Cat, I think they should give away lab goggles.
