Was this some kind of roundtable at a bookstore?
This was a signing with the four Timothy James Beck authors and with author Greg Herren. (From left to right, that’s TJB’s me, Greg, TJB’s Timothy Forry, TJB’s Timothy J. Lambert, and TJB’s Jim Carter.)
My, do I get weird expressions on my face. Or maybe I just have a weird face?
YOU? Look at MY face! Who knows what was going on…
Obviously, you are thinking who farted?
At least you’re not like me: Must…touch…my…chin.
Why is it that Timmy’s the only one of the TJB writers who looks like he’s really at ease in all three of these photos? Wait, I know why. He’s thinking, This is the last day of our acquaintance, oh oh oh…
Good luck with that.
Chin touching denotes either I am sooo much smarter than these people or Man, I can’t wait to go to Becky’s reading at Saints and Sinners next year!
I believe, in my case, it means: Is this a zit?
I think you’re quite handsome.

Was that day as fun as it looks? : )
I agree with Mark, it looks like the four of you were having such fun. Wish I had been there.
Damnit, first thing Monday morning, I’m going to call and see about the status of my P.R.C. How late can one register for S&S, anyway?
I want on the fun bus!
Is a PRC a passport or something else? I don’t know how late you can register. You can e-mail them at saintandsinnola@aol.com and explain your situation. =)
Permanent Residency Card. I’m still a British Citizen, with no Canuck passport, so I’m not allowed in to your country without a PRC. 😛
Well, you know how you Brits are. You might try to foist some of your humor or music on us if we just let you run crazy through our borders.
Is it hard to get a PRC?
Yes. =)
It was way fun, and when we went to some place to eat after even more fun was to be had.
But don’t ask about the guy who gave me underwear…
Was he a fan or something? Or was that guy the maitre ‘d, and the joint had a strict dress-code?
*swoon*
I like the third one the best. You’ve got this look on your face that says, “Oh, no, did I just call you a dumbfuck? I’m sorry, I’m Texan. That sort of thing just happens.” And I swear that the only reason Greg is holding just the cover is if he picked up the whole book, no doubt his musculature would escape his shirt. Timmy does indeed look like he’s planning an escape, and Tim has finally come to terms with how much the audience wants to see his entire adorable face, and put his hands down. Question: does Jim always blush, or is it just that ‘sun’ thing I keep hearing about?
Jim has a ruddy complexion. People always think he’s mad or sunburned. In fact, one of our inside jokes is to ask Jim, “Are you maaaaaaad?” because it makes him turn redder. One day he’ll snap and hurt us.
Jim may be ruddy, but he’s cuter than all get out!
What a nice looking group! (I thought maybe you were burping in the last picture, Becky.) 😉
And speaking of S&S, do I need to be looking into registering, or can I fly by the seat of my pants and go to things or not as the feeling hits me?
The $100 registration fee gets you into any of the panel discussions or readings that you choose to attend on Sat and Sun. It’s all up to you. It also gets you into the Friday night party and the Sunday night closing reception. Once you pick up your badge, you can come and go as you please and attend whatever strikes your fancy. Even if you’re not a writer–and who knows, maybe you WILL be one day?–there are fun things to be heard during the panels and chances to ask questions.
As the date gets closer, if you keep checking the site, they’ll start listing the panels and who’s on them. That gives you a chance to read books by authors you’ll be meeting there–which means you can ask them lots of questions in panel Q&As. For me, that’s the most fun part–even when I’m on the answering end.
Anyway, you can set your own schedule by who you may want to hang out with, what sightseeing you want to do, or what authors you want to listen to. Or you could just sit by the pool without moving for three days! (Sunscreen suggested.)
I’d sooooo Love to make it to this. It would be incredible. Ufortunately my best friend and I are already plannin gour first trip to Decadence this Labor Day and I doubt I could afford both this year. And he’d kill me if I asked him to go to this over Decadence. Just make sure you guys don’t do anything to not get invited back next year, so I can meet ya’ll. (BTW, new bifocals are ordered, so I will finally be able to read the small print in 3 Fortunes LOL)
–Gary
Hmmm, I have to admit I understand the allure of Decadence. 😉 Poor THREE FORTUNES and its tiny, tiny font.
If you didn’t get the bifocals before reading it, you’d need them afterward.
I’m just glad I got them before I had to start reviewing textbook for next semester. I swear I got 16 different desk copies today alone from publishers. 3 Fortunes is hopefully next on my list. I’ve just started Brent Hartinger’s new YA book, SplitScreen.
As for Decademce, we decided it was one of those things we need to do at least once, so we figured, “Why not this year?” It’ll be our first time back since Katrina.
