A few weeks ago the 21st century's version of Thelma and Louise hijacked my blog. Last night I hightailed it over to to see Jess Lourey and Dana Fredsti in the flesh. Introduced by store owner, mystery maven, and all-around great guy Ed Kaufman, they proved to be witty and charming. (According to their anecdotes, not all my fellow male crime fiction authors are gentlemen. Shocking news.) After the session, we repaired across the street where Jess even sprung for a beer. (Thanks, Jess!) Even in these days of $4 gas, they are hitting the road tomorrow with Seattle as their final destination. Sounds like fun.

Bill, Are you going to see them in Portland?

I love how you captured my strong and confident body language, Keith. It was very nice to see you--thanks for coming and even taking pix!
And for sure it wasn't Bill.

Just saw this after coming back from the tour and spending a few days recovering (and meeting a writing deadline). Thank you, Keith, for coming to see us and for writing about it! And no, it wasn't Bill! And he DID come and see us in Portland!
