Latest rumors

January 30th, 2006 by Dave

As I promised on Friday, the Las Vegas Business Press ran an article today about the immiment demise of a Strip mainstray. Check out Strip Tease to learn more.

Don’t expect too many posts from me this week–I’m heading to the East Coast to do some research and meet with my editor at Gotham Books. Roll the Bones is almost out of my hands. I’ve finished selecting pictures (though I’m still looking for a photo of Nick the Greek Dandalos) and am just starting the Herculean task of adding descriptors to my endnotes–there won’t be any superscript references in the published version. After I’m done all that, I think I just have to correct any mistakes in the proofs. There’s probably a few things I’ve left out, though.

I’ve also got a tentative plan for my next academic book project, but I’m still working out some of the details. So it’s been a busy time here.
