James Ellroy is in Belfast tomorrow night!
 The reason I know is that he is doing a radio interview here and I thought he may have been in Dublin. Alas I found out he's doing it via link from London. I would kill to get to go to a reading - I believe he is quite entertaining. Especially since Lt. Dudley Smith of L.A. Confidential is "Dublin-born". Also, "Dudley Smith" himself sat in my Buick when he was here in Dublin:  UPDATE: ELLROY's in Belfast tomorrow night - I'm going up! Full report will be submitted here - so stay tooned....

That's correct SC, I bought the book there and got Ellroy to inscribe it with a personal note to my son. The note says "you're Leland because of me". I had explained to him that my son's middle name was "Leland" because I loved the character Leland "Buzz" Meeks. Here are the to of us:

There was a rockabilly band playing there afterwards, some of them had pleather fedoras! None of the noir fans had fedoras though... that is, apart from me! I posted the above picture on Ellroy's facebook page and he commented on it, which I believe is quite unusual. I had a blast!
