...and of course the clown mask...but the one thing that caught my eye, is the fact that the "smiley" on the book covers-did not have sunglasses on....

I wish I had the book with me so I could find the exact references, but I remember a comment that alluded to Christine. And one of the roadies was wearing a Judas Coyne t-shirt! Loved the reference to Joe Hill's Heart-Shaped Box! ;-D

Good evening.

One that's niggling me: is there something about Brady's hamburger and the hamburger in Al's Diner in 11/22/63? IDK...there's a feeling...

Peace.
The only burger I recall is the one his mother ate. Was there another? That one definitely reminds me of the way Henry killed Mike Hanlon's dog in "It" though. Thinking about it, what he planned was pretty similar to what Henry did.
