STRUMPDATE FROM NEW YORK

Susie Essman did a fantastic job tonight of interviewing Alan Zweibel and me at the Union Square Barnes and Noble. Here we are relaxing in a totally unrehearsed pose afterward. Thanks to all who came out.

Sorry I missed it Dave but I was busy reading the book, which is pretty funny so far.

What a great picture! Did Dave and Alan Zweibel exchange shirts again? I've heard the book is wonderful and I'll be buying a copy of it tomorrow. I wish I had it now since, for some odd reason, we're having a series of tornadoes going through my area this evening. It would definitely get my mind off the weather.

[Loudmouth]

You all certainly look so natural. BTW, they said the same thing about my grandmother at her funeral.

[nursecindy]

btw, Alan Zweibel is on The Late Show With David Letterman tonight.

[Theresa]

Very nice picture.

[Elon]

Way cool.

[wiredog]

Nice blue sweater, Dave.

Mr. Zeribel looks relaxed.

[Lairbo]

Aside from Susie Essman not swearing nearly enough, it was a terrificly fun evening. Got the book and looking forward to reading it.

[Meanie the Blue]

Alan Zweibel wrote a book?

[Meanie the Blue]

Would have absolutely loved being there, but couldn't. And, alas, now I see I could have gotten both Dave's and Alan's book and my 2012 Doomsday Calendar autographed.

*Makes early morning grumpy face*

[Jeff Meyerson]

Glad you represented the blog, Lairbo, for those of us unable to make it. The book is a lot of fun so far.

[Meanie the Blue]

I hope Dave remembered where he was and didn't do the agriculture jokes.

[Lairbo]

It was great to see and say hi to Dave again (as always), and I tried to do the blog proud (don't believe everything you read on Page Six). Mtb, as soon as Borders gets back to me about scheduling a book signing, I'll let you know.

[Meanie the Blue]

December 22, I suppose .....

[Lairbo]

*snork* @ Mtb.

[padraig]

OK, now Alan's not wearing Dave's blue shirt anymore, and Dave has it back on.

I do NOT want to know what goes on on these "book tours."

[queensbee]

come on up to albany dave and alan - we have great bookstores!! and a lotta readers here!

[Matt Filar]

I hope Susie yelled at Dave the way she does to Larry and Jeff.

[funny man]

Someday Dave must put all the exciting, funny and even secret stuff that goes on in his book tours
into a new book!

Also, if you are bored activity challenged,
do a google or yahoo image search on Dave Barry look-alike.

You will find no one who looks like Dave Barry.
Just saying....

[funny man]

Update and correction:

I did find ONE....it was/is Sam Barry, brother of you-know-who.

"Thanks to all who came out."

Do people usually come out at your book events? Seems like kind of an unrelated venue, but what do I know?

[Ms. Flukey]

Blue shirt, blue sweater, blue blazer... We have a Trifecta!

[nursecindy]

Alan Zweibel was terrific on Letterman. I would like to say to Mr. Zweibel that I'm sure Roger Ebert didn't really mean that he hated your movie "North". Maybe he was just having a bad day. Have you thought about setting him up for lunch with Penny Banks?
Lairbo, any pictures?

[Diva]

A whole freaking day and NO ONE asked where their other hands are??? You guys are slacking.

[nursecindy]

Diva, I just assumed that Dave and Alan were holding hands behind Susie Essman's back. NTTAWWT.

[Diva]

Considering the previous photo, you may well be right.
