The Giddy Up is located in downtown Folsom and serves coffee, tea, smoothies, pastries, paninis, and soup.

I also had few of my books there. They are listed on the following webpage:

The Folsom book signing reminded me of an episode back in 1993 when Pat Smith published a book called "101 Uses for Really Old Fruitcake."  I supplied the cartoons to go along with the suggested uses. She was in Houston putting the book together, and I was drawing the cartoons in Covington and faxing them to her. It was an interesting project.

Here is an article that appeared in the newspaper announcing a book signing for the new book.

I've done other book signings, one at Books A Million, and even a map signing at K-Mart in Slidell. That was an interesting day, sitting inside the front entrance of K-Mart, selling and signing Slidell cartoon maps. One of the people coming in the door was a cousin that I hadn't seen in decades.
