Thanks to everyone who came out to Vintage Wine and Book Store Saturday in ATX for Sleuths Just Wanna Have Fun: Private Eyes in the Materialistic Eighties. It started small but soon grew into a full house for a great conversation about 1980s literature, culture, crime and film!🕶️

Smokey and the Bandit turns 49 today. If it weren’t for a space saga from a galaxy far, far away, it would’ve been '77’s biggest hit. Burt Reynolds starred, but Jackie Gleason flat-out steals the movie. Now, gimme a diablo sandwich and a Dr Pepper, ’cause I’m in a goddamn hurry.
