I should be able to confirm whether it happened or not sometime next week, when I wrap up listening to PG, but I'm pretty sure it's referenced that it happened as part of the buildup to Molly's trial.

If it helps, I remember Ramirez remarking that he gets his soulgaze info in the form of music. I believe that's in TC.

We also know there have been Ramirez/Luccio and Ramirez/Molly soulgazes.

Hmm... this may've already been asked elsewhere, but I wanted to see if anyone could answer this for me.

So I was bad, and picked up a copy of Naked City at my local bookstore. Jim says his short in it, "Curses", takes place between Small Favor and Turn Coat. However, during the events of "Curses", Harry is introduced as

(among other things. However, wouldn't that have ended when Harry
(click to show/hide)
near the end of the book? Or is he still considered the former even after the latter happened? o_O

Is this dating from an interview or something else? I checked it out from my library last week, and was wracking my brain trying to figure out the timing of the story, with no internal clues that I could spot.

On Lydia and presidential assassination attempts:

Few people seem to know that there were assassination attempts post-Reagan. The following quote from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_Presidential_assassination_attempts misses one that I remember hearing the Secret Service foiled before it happened, during the Clinton administration when somebody repeated the Sam Byck idea.

Quote
George H.W. Bush

April 13, 1993: Sixteen suspected terrorists, in the employ of Saddam Hussein's Iraq, smuggled a car bomb into Kuwait with the intent of killing Bush as he spoke at Kuwait University. The plot was foiled when Kuwaiti officials found the bomb and arrested the suspected assassins. Bush had left office in January 1993. On June 26, 1993, the U.S. launched a missile attack targeting Baghdad intelligence headquarters in retaliation for the attempted attack against Bush.

Bill Clinton

October 29, 1994: Francisco Martin Duran fired at least 29 shots with a semi-automatic rifle at the White House from Pennsylvania Avenue, outside the south lawn, thinking that Clinton was among the men in dark suits standing there (Clinton was in the White House Residence watching a football game). No one was hurt and Duran was sentenced to 40 years in prison.

George W. Bush

May 10, 2005: While Bush was giving a speech in the Freedom Square in Tbilisi, Georgia, Vladimir Arutinian threw a live Soviet-made RGD-5 hand grenade towards the podium where he was standing and where Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili and their two wives and officials were seated. It landed in the crowd 18.6 metres (61 feet) from the podium after hitting a girl, but did not detonate because the red tartan (plaid) handkerchief wrapped tightly around it didn't allow the firing pin to deploy fast enough.[

Arutinian was arrested in July 2005 and admitted to throwing the grenade. He was convicted in January 2006, and was given a life sentence.

The odds are that she might have been talking about the Clinton assassination attempt.

I'm trying to figure out Jim's schedule for things he's doing/participating in during this appearance. Is there one that somebody here can provide?

(I'm working on planning the trip, but planning in the absence of information is really difficult.)

Thanks in advance.
