It had a white door way back in GP don't remember if that door has changed by SmF.

Which book is Eb from and i didn't think he had soulgazed Thomas because i thought it wasn't possible to soulgaze vampires?

As Harry has said, White Court vamps are the closest to humans because they have a incubus living wthin. In other words the human body is home for 2 souls: human and demon. Because that's the living arrangement, any wizard can soulgaze a White Court vamp.

[DrygonDM]

It is possible that a Whampire that has allowed their Inner Demon to take control of them might not be Soulgaze-able.
- or perhaps one would never want to do so. I mean, would Harry really want to soulgaze Vittero ?

I came across the answer to the blue beetle in... the first book. Do we need the most recent? Specifics, specifics...

We dug out the specifics up to PG... and WN only referenced blue, red, yellow, and green.  Is there more in SmF?  (You'd think I'd have taken note of it, but I can't recall)

Answer:  Powder blue, white, yellow, red, green, and primer grey

I found 3 quotes for this (Thanks, Priscellie for pointing me to FM!):

Fool Moon
The Beetle wasn't really blue, not anymore.  One of the doors had been replaced with a green duplicate, the other one with white, when something with claws had shredded the originals.  The hood had been slagged by fire, and my mechanic, Mike, had replaced it with the hood from a red vehicle.

Dead Beat
The car has had various doors and panels replaced with white, yellow, red, and green.  My mechanic, Mike, had managed to pound the hood more or less back into its original condition, which I’d bent our of shape while ramming a bad guy, but I hadn’t had the money to repaint, so now the car had primer grey added to its ensemble.

Proven Guilty
It’s a jumble of different colors, as my mechanic has replaced damaged portions of the body with parts from junked Bugs, but it started off as a shade of powder blue, and that had earned it the sobriquet of the Blue Beetle.


^{ETA quote from PG, to clarify that the "blue" is "powder blue," 'cause it's a fine piece of trivia} 

[Blampira]

According to Ch. 2 of Small Favor, the descriptor for the Blue Beetle is:

(click to show/hide)

...a beat up old Volkswagen Beetle that had originally been powder blue, but was now a mix of red, blue, green, white, yellow, and now primer grey on the new hood my mechanic had scrounged up.  Some anonymous joker who had seen too many Disney movies had spray-painted the number 53 inside a circle on the hood, but the car's name was the Blue Beetle, and it was going to stay that way.

Thanks, Blampira!

Tak, there are actually four Regional Commanders in the US, though we only know the names of two.  From Dead Beat:

Umm, I could be wrong here, and I hate to necro the post (I seem to have developed a bad habit of doing that...), but I think that by the end of Dead Beat/the beginning of Proven Guilty there are only 3 regional commanders, (one of them is presumed to be dead, due to the Red Court offensives) including Harry and Ramirez.
 On a non-correctional note, I <3 The Butcher Block/Butcher 'Spress!!!

And I also didn't read beyond page 1, thereby making me an idiot for not realizing that what I was responding to had already been adressed. Sorry!

Mac's Place.

Ok, I can only recall two places where a full description of MacAnally's Place is given - at least not without re-re-re-re-reading the entire series, which I will do in a few months anyway, just not right now.

Note: I am only inlcuding the important parts, and not everything.

Storm Front. Chapter Five.
"Mac keeps a player piano."

"When you walk in, you take several steps down into a room with low clearance and ceiling fans."

"There are thirteen stools at the bar and thirteen tables in the room. Thirteen windows, set up high in the wall in order to be above ground level, let some light in from the street."

"Thirteen mirrors on the walls."

"Thirteen wooden columns, carved with the likeness from folktales and legends of the Old World."

"The colors are all muted, earth browns and sea greens."

"Mac makes his own beer, ale really."

"Mac does all his cooking on a wood burning stove."

Small Favor. Chapter 15
"There are 13 tables in the room, & 13 wooden pillars, each extensively carved with scenes mostly out of Old Wolrd fairy tales.
The bar is crooked and has 13 stools, and 13 ceiling fans."

How much did Harry's coat cost?
When did he get it?

[Lash Dresden]

How much did Harry's coat cost?
When did he get it?

Susan gave it to him as a gift in Fool Moon.  We don't know how much it cost originally, or how much he's spent (if any) in making it the magical equivalent of Kevlar (and more).

[talktotheHand]

I was looking at buying one. I mean a really good one. prices in US$ ranged up to 700.00 for reasonable designs
