I promised you that the book-launch party would be awesome...and now I can reveal the details!

On Monday, Dec. 4th, from 7-11 PM, the very cool Crescent Hotel in Beverly Hills will be hosting the launch party for "The Good, The Bad & the Pugly"! Drink sponsors Hpnotiq and Vitamin Water will be on hand, giving out free mixed cocktails and drinks in an absolutely awesome indoor/outdoor lounge setting. It really is one of LA's coolest spots (check out the Flash tour for yourself)! Copies of "The Good, The Bad & The Pugly" will of course be available, and I'll be putting personalized sketches into books all night long.

Here is your map, which can be modified with your starting point. There is valet parking out front, and free street parking on the surrounding streets.

The featured Hpnotiq cocktails for the night (I'm thinking of calling them "The Pugly" and "The Lucky Duck") and Vitamin Water are free...and there'll also be a cash bar and kitchen for anything your tastebuds might crave.

I'm telling you now: don't miss this night. The music will be jumpin', the free drinks will be flowin', the Pugly sketches will be flyin', and there may even be a Sheldon Original Art raffle giveaway.

So I'll see you there on Dec. 4th!

Thanks,

Dave

PS: The attire is probably in the "LA classy/club" range. What does that mean? Lord if I know...I'm a guy, after all. Like every good husband everywhere, my wife will probably end up dressing me. :)

For those outside of the U.S., I thought I should post this
link to the weirdest-backslash-saddest idea anyone ever had for a restaurant chain.

Imagine being in that marketing meeting:

"People! When customers think of Kenny Rogers' dusty grey beard, and semi-creepy 'old-man-even-when-he-was-a-young-man' look, what do they think of?"

"Delicious, delicious chicken, Bob. Delicious, delicious chicken."

[EDIT: A reader just e-mailed me to tell me there's only ONE "Kenny Roger's Roasters" still open. Man, that makes Sunday's comic just... depressing.]
