It seems that a person living in OKlahoma is not respected unless they have a cowboy hat and some boots (I have four pair). My wife (from LA) also had modified her attire and has two pair of boots and a cowboy hat. We also love the PBR.

Do you dare accept my bet?

Are you ready for Atlanta on the 29th? I'm predicting '08 will be Willingham's year.

The trip home was ok, but the conference was wonderful. I finished reading Blood Ties, I liked it, I liked it! On to the next Armstrong book......

I inadvertantly deleted your comments on my page (mea culpa *again*). It was not an editorial observation, only an all thumbs male trying to understand this new technology (and neither liquor nor firearms were involved!)

Hopefully, you'll be doing a signing in the Kansas City area some day soon!

I join your other fans in extending "congrats" for your Shamus nomination. *Very* well done!

Best wishes.

At 12:40am on March 26, 2007, Victor Gischler said…: PBR

I still don't get it. Is it the bulls that drink the pabst blue ribbon or the riders?

At 11:41am on March 24, 2007, Cyndy Salzmann said…: WOW! I was just there last night and there's a Home Builder's show going on at the Quest too. My DH just told me the PBR event is in the arena. Big place. Unfortunately... I promised I'd strip wallpaper this weekend.

Looking forward to seeing you at Mayhem!

At 5:49am on March 24, 2007, J. Carson Black said…: Lori - I did name Chilly after a filly named Chilukki. I could give you a name, too, if you want. Or would you rather be named after a bull? Bodacious is nice, even when it's not paired with Tatas.

At 8:57am on March 21, 2007, Paul Guyot said…: Lori,
After Tacoma, I'd say Reindeer Dippin is my fav bull.

I'm a big Scene Of The Crash fan, but that little Reindeer is an exciting little "jumping cow."

That's what my 4-year-old son calls bull riding - "jumping cows."

At 9:51am on March 20, 2007, Toni McGee Causey said…: Lori -- thanks for the comment (re: video)... er, just hadn't done it because I, er... (stupid?) I'm glad you reminded me! I'll put 'em up this evening. Thanks!

At 9:07am on March 20, 2007, Daniel Hatadi said…: Hey, Lori. Just to let you know, Crimespace email is up and running again. Let us know if you have any further problems.

At 6:05am on March 19, 2007, Joan Hiller said…: Lori, I just sent a friend to Craig's signing in Billings. I have read the first two, and I know I will love the third. What a writer. I hope to get to Omaha this year.
By the way, I told Judy she had to read him.

At 2:13am on March 19, 2007, Carol Davis Luce said…: Hi Lori (Ray Ray), thanks for the add. You can call me anything you like. Jake nicknamed me Chilly for a race horse (Chiluka, I believe). But I'll answer to CL or Chilly, or plain ol' Carol.

At 12:08am on March 19, 2007, Sean Chercover said…: I think you misunderstand me.

I'm not being polite, just unsympathetic.

At 4:51am on March 18, 2007, Paul Guyot said…: Bodacious may have broken his face, but Tuff rode him 3 out of 4 times. I say that's worth getting your face smeared.

You're probably much too young, but there was a bull that made Bodacious look like a rodeo calf.

Tornado. Retired with a record of 220-1 (Bodacious 129-6, iirc).

Only one cowboy ever stayed on Tornado for eight seconds - Freckles Brown at the '67 NFR.

My dad has a picture of that ride in his house. He was there. I get chills just typing this.

At 1:17am on March 18, 2007, Lori G. Armstrong said…: Libby - the guys - cover models and EC Cavemen aren't always oiled up. And honestly, they are so mobbed by readers and fans and such that you hardly see them. They are at the dances at night. We actually skipped the cover model competition last year.

The reason I love that con is because its mostly women attending, women who write everything, who are in different stages of their lives and their careers. And readers who get to meet their favorite authors in an informal setting. For me its very much a feeling of sisterhood that I don't get anywhere else in this crazy business. Plus, its hard to be intimidated by editors and agents and "big name" authors when they're next to you on the dance floor shakin' their bootie to KC and the Sunshine Band :)

I'm working on my costumes now...Already got the hat and the chaps for the western party Friday night, sadly, they are my *real* clothes, not a costume.

At 12:45am on March 18, 2007, Libby Hellmann said…: Ooo... so sorry Lori... I accidentally deleted your post on my chatterwall... still getting used to this stuff...but to answer your question, Im actually a little intimidated by the idea of Romantic Times. I mean, running around with men who've oiled their bodies and are dressed in loin cloths and nothing else??? Hmm...

Speaking of men with oiled bodies, the only one I ever saw that really worked for me was Ricardo Montalban as Khan in the Star Trek movie. OK, so I'm dating myself. But all that shiny bronzed skin.... over well defined pecs...(sigh)... all right. Enough for a Saturday morning...
