Here we are at Books Inc. in Alameda, continuing our important educational outreach program to teach young people about important scientific things such as molecules.
Although perhaps we've been on book tour a little too long.

To see the picture, I mean. Do I need special glasses?
Posted by: kristie | October 22, 2008 at 10:49 AM
Hat trick?

Maybe Dave left the CrapCam in Petaluma Petaluma Petaluma.

Sorry. I posted it before it was done. (Hey, I have had NO sleep.) Fixed now.

You deserve it, Dave...

Why do the faces in those photos look like Harmonee Prescott?

Brokeback Book Tour?
(aw, c'mon, somebody had to say it.)

awww, looks like that blissful photo of House and Wilson on last week's TV Guide...

They make such a charming couple, don't they?
Posted by: Diva | October 22, 2008 at 12:05 PM
And YAY for the return of the blue shirt!
Posted by: Diva | October 22, 2008 at 12:05 PM
What's surprising to me is Dave wearing a blue shirt!

Just exactly what did happen in Oregon?

It's Davy Jones's part in one of the Monkees songs.

gjd: Zilch! You win a cookie! I saw the 'China Clipper' movie on TV and was surprised to see that was where it was from.

I like the second photo best -- the one in which you're
filling out the paperwork for the civil ceremonysigning books.Posted by: Danny | October 22, 2008 at 01:39 PM
Weird things happen when you Pet-a-llama.
(Looks like they were Mentos for each other.)
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | October 22, 2008 at 01:56 PM
Remember. What happens in Oregon, pretty much gets broadcast everywhere.
Posted by: Cheryl Howard | October 22, 2008 at 02:00 PM
Yes, Cheryl. "Keep Portland Wired."

Note the pens permanently attached to their hands. I wonder if they're adhering to the skin itself or if the hand joints have frozen in that position.

You know, that bookstore seemed quite prepared for the Dave and Ridley show. Look at all the plastic covering everything up.
Looks like an Italian grandma's parlor furniture.
Posted by: Cat R | October 22, 2008 at 06:43 PM
Ridley looks especially stressed, judging by that crazed...I don't think grin is the right word, exactly...rictus, maybe?
Yes, the crazed rictus on Ridley's face. Which is an alarming thing to see on somebody who writes murder mysteries for a living.
Perhaps Dave should double-check the lock on the hotel room door before retiring for the evening. Unless he's rooming with Ridley to save expenses, in which case he should look into getting his own room. Maybe Dave should prop a chair under the doorknob, too.
And make sure his life insurance is paid up...
