    Anyone that names a novel after a Tom Waits song is definitely welcome here.

  • Sean Doolittle

    Hey Daniel--

    Thanks, man. This is quit a shindig you've got going here. I feel like an old man. Blog what? Friend who? What's happening? I'll learn up quick, though. Thanks for letting me play with the cool kids. . . .

  • Daniel Hatadi

    To tell you the truth, we're all trying to work it out. I'm getting together some guidelines and help for the folks what aren't computer programmers, but right now I'm working flat off my feet just to get everyone liquored up first.

    Have fun with it. It's not like you can break anything.

  • Victor Gischler

    Phil! Phil! I'm a huge fan. Why did you blow the U.S. Open? It's okay, I'm still a fan and ... wait.

    You're not Phil at all.

    Oh ... Hi Sean.

    (Sucker.)

  • Sean Doolittle

    Ah, Neil. Dear Victor. My old friends. If only I had known you'd be here! Oh, wait, you invited me. Thanks. I don't have a novel to finish or anything like that at all.

    Mar 13, 2007

  • Sean Doolittle

    In fact, don't YOU have novels to finish?

    Seriously though, thanks for the heads up. Nice to be at the party.

  • Paul Guyot

    Congrats on your win at pebble this year.

    And if you haven't already, check out a writer named Doolittle. He's good.

  • Harry Hunsicker

    Neil, Victor, and Sean in the same room together? Last time that happened was in a motel room in Austin. And I think we'd all like to avoid a repeat of that . . . situation.

    Mar 13, 2007

  • Victor Gischler

    No no no ... I thought I was in a room with Phil Mickleson.

    Wait ... that's really not much better, is it?

    Mar 13, 2007

  • Sean Doolittle

    Harry, I still cry at night sometimes. Mr. Guyot, sir, hello to you. I just tried to send you a message but I think I clicked the wrong button and then there was a flash and now my cell phone doesn't seem to work. Hmm.

    Mar 13, 2007

  • Victor Gischler

    You stink, Mickleson.

    I'm #1 in the world. Suck on that.

    Mar 13, 2007

  • Paul Guyot

    No one is sucking on anything but me.

    Uh, wait...

    Mar 13, 2007

  • Victor Gischler

    Check ... mate.

    Mar 13, 2007

  • Sean Doolittle

    Well played, sir.

    Mar 13, 2007

  • Jeff Shelby

    The green jacket makes you look so hot.

    Mar 13, 2007

  • Tiffany Leigh

    The Cleanup kicked ass, Lefty.

    Mar 14, 2007

  • Sean Doolittle

    Hey thanks, Tiffany--very glad you liked.

    See that, you animals? Do you see how others treat World #2?

    Mar 14, 2007

  • Paul Guyot

    I don't think I'd want to refer to myself "Number two."

    Mar 14, 2007

  • Jeff Shelby

    You did not, however, kick ass at the U.S. Open, Lefty.

    Mar 14, 2007

  • Victor Gischler

    Stop reading this and get back to work.

    Mar 14, 2007

  • Victor Gischler

    I said stop reading this.

    Mar 15, 2007

  • Charlie Williams

    I am the walrus.

  • Victor Gischler

    The Dude abides.

  • Lori G. Armstrong

    Totally not trying to be a doofus, but are you going to the PBR event next weekend in Omaha? I'd be there, except it's concert weekend for our youngest and I doubt she'd understand mommy's need to drink beer and cheer on cowboys.

    I'll stop now. Seriously.

    So, the #1 cowboy is originally from Nebraska.

    Sorry. Seriously gonna stop now.

    Mar 17, 2007

  • Sean Doolittle

    Lori dude, I'm ashamed to admit it, but when you said PBR the only thing I could think of was Pabst Blue Ribbon. Now I've been out on the Internets and the Google tells me about the Pro Bull Riders event of which you speak. In short: nope, not going. Though I might like to. Haven't been to the bulls since I was a kid. . . .

    Mar 17, 2007

  • Victor Gischler

    I thought she WAS talking about Pabst Blur Ribbon ...

    Mar 17, 2007

  • Lori G. Armstrong

    My bad for not explaining PBR as Professional Bull Riders instead of beer.

    Mmm. Beer.

    Anyone remember Schlitz? Grain Belt? My gramps was fond of Red White & Blue because it was so cheap.

    Mar 17, 2007

  • Paul Guyot

    Okay, you may have trumped us all with that photo.

    Mar 17, 2007

  • Victor Gischler

    Schlitz is still around ... but I'm more of a Falstaff's or Hamm's guy.

    Or urine. Let's just drink chilled urine.

  • Vince Keenan

    I won an autographed copy of The Cleanup from your website earlier this year. It was so good I would have gladly paid for it. But now it's, you know, too late.

    Mar 17, 2007

  • Brian Thornton

    Doolittle, if that's a recent pic, I must say that you've come up in the world since I last saw you in Madison.

    Mar 19, 2007

  • Sean Doolittle

    Madison? You mean the one in Wisconsin? Was I there? Who brought me home?

    Mar 20, 2007

  • Joan Hiller

    I just dug up some Dirt on Doolittle, but if I print it I may Burn. How did I miss Cleanup....dang

    Mar 20, 2007

  • Brian Thornton

    If you must know, I *found* these epaulets in your closet while a couple of friends of mine were busy distracting you by peeing on your carpet, Moonbeam.

    They must have gone nicely with the tin foil you used to line your hat back when they were yours, Dude.

    Mar 20, 2007

  • Brian Thornton

    By the way, *my* vote for "PBR Event" would be anything involving the words "steel," "cage" "match," "broke" "chair," and "head."

    Mar 20, 2007

  • Victor Gischler

    So ... how's it going here? Ready for some more chatter?

    Mar 22, 2007

  • Victor Gischler

    Damn you. You know I don't get the gold channel.

    Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

    Mar 23, 2007

  • Sean Doolittle

    A fan but not a student, Judith--I've got a Mariner Books omnibus with Confederate General, Babylon, and Hawkline Monster. And Trout Fishing in America. But I'll be I've cited Babylon a hundred times to writing groups. Always loved the way the first big chunk of the plot consists of the PI trying to find bullets for his gun so he can start the case. . . .

    Mar 23, 2007

  • Sean Doolittle

    Me, I want the Team Wisconsin and Team Paris shirts. And a coffee mug!

    Mar 23, 2007

  • Alison

    Sean, I'm on it. I'm gonna have to start my own damn screenprinting business, aren't I?

    Just so you know, I might design these shirts with unicorns on them or something. Because ICFS members are tough enough to wear unicorns on their t-shirts. Respect!

    Mar 23, 2007

  • Sean Doolittle

    Alison, you know I'm there. Make mine a babydoll. . . .

    Mar 23, 2007

  • Paul Guyot

    I can't believe Gischler is about to win at Doral!

    Mar 26, 2007

  • Sean Doolittle

    That's Gischler, man. Other guys implode under pressure, he just gets. . .compressed. I like his chances at Augusta.

    Mar 27, 2007

  • northwoodsgirl

    Hey Sean, Thank you for getting back to me so quick. The Jordans are a great group of people. Happy Easter!

    Apr 7, 2007

  • Victor Gischler

    Just so you don't forget about this crimespace thing.

    May 1, 2007

  • Daniel Hatadi

    Yeah, don't forget about it. :)

    May 16, 2007

  • Otis Twelve

    So... how'd the fantasy novel turn out? Finished being a professor? Your turn to buy.

    Jun 27, 2007

  • Sean Doolittle

    It actually turned out to be a military thriller. Go figure. Back to the non-academic life for me. And boy is my ass tired.

    Same place for lunch? Something different? Next week, say?

    Jun 28, 2007

  • Dave White

    Sean, Thanks so much for the blurb!
