NOIR FANS: FREE LES EDGERTON EBOOKS AVAILABLE
There are TWO books of Les Edgerton's being offered FREE as Kindle editions through Amazon right now:
THE PERFECT CRIME
http://www.amazon.com/The-Perfect-Crime-ebook/dp/B005I654PM/ref=la_B000APH7SI_1_9_title_1_kin?ie=UTF8&qid=1358013264&sr=1-9
JUST LIKE THAT
http://www.amazon.com/Just-Like-That-Edgerton/dp/0615572227/ref=la_B000APH7SI_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1358013264&sr=1-6
If you were lucky enough to hear Les Edgerton read at Noir At The Bar back in April then like Lupe you are probably a fan!
If you didn't get to hear him read, and you are a fan of true noir**, you will like Edgerton.
He is the real deal. In the Noir world he has the street cred for actually having served 2 years in prison. And as a writer he is perhaps better known as the author of numerous Writer's Digest guides to writing.
He himself is like a real life book or movie character. In fact, the man has had such a strange life it could probably be told in a whole series of stories.
He is most compared to Ed Bunker, as a writer.
So check it out if you have a Kindle!
Also, you can find many of the print editions, plus the EXCELLENT Noir At The Bar 2 (which includes an Edgerton short story, at Subby!!!
See you in The Loop!!!
**And Lupe says "true noir" because there is a kind of Tarantino-esque element to Noir these days. She finds it kind of tiresome. Not so much lurid as suburban fantasy. Meaning to shock and thrill "respectable" society, instead of telling true stories of noir.
Or the stories revolve around the narrator or protagonist adventure with a "tragic girl" or "dangerous woman" or a transgendered person, or drug addict, or felon. "Bad" words are used liberally and casually to cover the fact the writer has gotten most of his information from other writers (Thompson, Stark, or perhaps Goines and Iceberg Slim).

MESHUGGAH CAFE DU MONDE
Lupe needed to quit drinking so much coffee. She decided the best way to do this was to cut the coffee with something else, so she switched to the chicory/coffee blend Cafe Du Monde.
It turns out that chicory coffee is even BETTER than regular coffee, and better than Meshuggah's Honey Vanilla Latte! So Lupe is not suffering any withdrawals.
Meshuggah has some nice new sturdy, square tables outside where you can sit and drink it and enjoy some fine people watching.
See you in the Loop!!!

SCOTT PHILLIPS AT U CITY LIBRARY
Two of Lupe's favourite things will be together on January 18th!
Scott Phillips will be reading and signing THE ADJUSTMENT at the University City Public Library.
http://universitycity.patch.com/events/meet-the-author-scott-phillips
If Noir at the Bar seemed too "R" rated for you, then this at least will have cookies and be in a brightly lit auditorium with librarians close at hand.

THE ADJUSTMENT BY SCOTT PHILLIPS
Noir at the Bar "OG" and ICE HARVEST author Scott Phillips has a new book out. It connects with THE WALKAWAY and also COTTONWOOD, also by the author.
THE ADJUSTMENT.
Lupe always reads a Scott Phillips book in one sitting, cover to cover. This one was no exception. It was definitely a good read!
You can have him sign it at BoucherCon on the 17th. http://store.subbooks.com/event/scott-phillips-signing-adjustment
LA TIMES review of THE ADJUSTMENT: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/jacketcopy/2011/08/book-review-scott-phillips-the-adjustment.html

I'm sorry, was there something else you wanted???? A fabulous femme fatale, perhaps? Well, Lupe will be there... ;o)

MONDAY MUSIC AND MYSTERY
Tonight in Heman Park it is the Electric Funk Band. It's free and it's within walking distance of the Loop. (Walking distance for Loopies and urbanites, a bit far for the car culture and suburbanites, but still close.)
Also, tonight is Noir at the Bar with Jed Ayres and Scott Phillips. The Noir is Dennis Tafoya. The bar is the fabulous Delmar Lounge!
Listen to some music outdoors, then some stories inside... a perfect Loop Monday!!!
See you in the Loop!!

"U"-NIQUE HAPPENINGS IN THE LOOP THIS WEEK
EDIT: The film was 74 minutes, not 7. The flyer had a typo. The film was very good and well-attended! Best of luck to the filmmakers!
As usual there are WAY too many great things going on in the Loop to keep up!
Here a few things Lupe wanted to be sure you know about.
A local St. Louis filmmaker will be presenting his indie short film at the Tivoli tonight and Sunday. IT SOOTHES MY SOUL. Lupe met the writer/director, Michael Larnell and was very impressed. She will be attending the Sunday screening. (Lupe is going to see L.A. ska stalwarts Fishbone at City Museum tonight.)
Screening times are 7 PM both days. Tickets are $7, which comes to about one dollar a minute for a seven minute film.
(7/7/7, hope this is lucky for the filmmaker!! The cost of an indie film to make is about $10,000 a minute. So the price to see this is worth every penny!)
Also tonight is Noir At The Bar, the monthly meeting of St. Louis crime and mystery writers at the Delmar Lounge. (Writers like Jedidiah Ayers.) Again, Lupe wishes she could be in two places at once!
Two other quick comments: the drum circle has vanished. Pushed out perhaps by the expansion of the Market Pub House. Or perhaps all things Bohemian and "cultcha" are leaving the Loop and migrating to the lower-rent South Grand area. She is very sad that this decades long tradition is leaving the Loop!
Finally, it appears that the Horse and Carriage rides were for that one weekend only. Which is really a shame. Because Lupe would like to ride from the Loop through Forest Park. Maybe it will become a regular feature soon!!!
SEE YOU IN THE LOOP!!!
