Eggers announces that a bus driven by a man named Duane will arrive at 10 p.m. and will shuttle fans to a secret destination. We're unsure whether to believe him. I was still waiting to see the real Dave Eggers, and the audience wasn't helping. Eggers says his teenage brother joined the Coast Guard. We can't tell whether this is might be true, or part of the show.
Eggers soon invites everyone outside.
About 25 stragglers climb into the bus and head to a bar in the Mission District. Dave buys our drinks. He shakes our hands, asks if we're having a good time, thanks us for coming. Hours later, Dave decides that when two people are finished playing pool, the bus will head back to the bookstore. And we do.
