Last week eight members of Roswell Six gathered at the BJs Brewhouse in Westwood, CA for a celebration dinner.  Shawn Gordon arrived with the finished CDs, which had just arrived at the warehouse.  Rebecca and I came with the newly printed Roswell Six posters.  Mike Alvarez (cello), Chris Quirarte (drums), Kurt Barabas (bass), and vocalists John Payne and Michael Sadler also arrived for a marathon signing session.

That weekend was also the LA Times Festival of Books and the Nebula Awards banquet, hosted by Janis Ian.  And here, a bunch of photos from the events:

Yes, John Payne really does have a halo around him.

Chris Quirarte’s signature gets a thumbs-up from Kurt

Michael Sadler and Rebecca…must be those romantic lyrics

Michael and John must be discussing the merits of long vs short hair for rock stars…
