Noir at the Bar in pictures: Jen Conley's big night
I read a story of my own that was well-received in a rowdy, good-natured manner, but I have no pictures to prove it. I do have these, though, all photos by your humble blogkeeper:
 |
| Scott Adlerberg |
 |
| I don't know his name, but he did yeoman-like double duty as bartender and waiter. |
 |
| Suzanne Solomon |
 |
| Jeff Markowitz |
 |
| Jen Conley (Have I mentioned her yet?) |
 |
| Ed Aymar |
 |
| Chuck Regan, who read a mind-exploding science-fiction/fantasy story and designed the poster you see at the top of this post. |
 |
| I wish this guy were a trucker in his day job so I could give him the nickname "Semi." He is Angel Colón. |

Very nice, and I believe you that you were there. I think my favorite picture is of the bartender.
Thanks. I like the bartender shot, too, because I think it's a good picture, and because I took good advantage of where I sat. I did not set out to take an atmospheric photo of a bartender/waiter emerging from a kitchen, that is, but I may do so i the future.
Looks great, Peter. Wish I was there. Looking forward to Raleigh.
Long live noir @ bar!
Lou, I am a few blocks from the possible location we have discussed. I should stop by there this evening.
John: It was good fun.
I read a story I had posted here, and a line you liked ("I don't know what we can charge him with. Breaking and entering and cruelty to animals. maybe.") got good laughs.
Hasta Bouchercon!
Noir at the Bar — like the sound of it, Peter. Thanks for sharing these pictures which tell their own noirish story. I like the creative handout and its resemblance to the cover of a noir novel.
That poster up top was designed by Chuck Regan, whom you'll reading in one of the photos.
"Noir at the Bar" is alliterative, and it suits the authors who show up. In addition, the bar where I held the first ones when I came up with the idea in 2008 had black walls, floor, and ceiling. So everything fit.
