A classic!
Found at Voodoo Doughnut in Portland, OR.
Unfortunately I didn't have time to play a few rounds, as much as I would have liked to.

Not the Case costume I've been meaning to show off, but I did like the circumstances behind this shot.
Thanks, Memetictees, for the awesome t-shirt.
I'm in the field again on assignment, this time well south of the Mason-Dixon line. Far enough south, in fact, that people actually have accents, and truck stops are the primary means of acquiring what one needs to live, such as food, fuel, and automobile parts. It seems that my cow-orker and I didn't get the luck of the draw when it came to the hotel this time.

There's a new Gibson novel coming out soon, called Spook Country. The corrected proofs were handed in last week, so the exact publication date is anyone's guess at this moment.
