Man.  I still a little bummed.  I had just returned from an acupuncture conference (where I spent three days listening to specialists and speakers) the night before the Chicago signing, and just couldn't get down there for it.

I did console myself by purchasing TC in Milwaukee Tuesday afternoon.  Finished it on Tuesday evening... ;D

What does his shirt say?  All I can make out is "I found your ring".

"If you can read this, I found your ring."

I have GOT to get this one coworker to read Dresden; she would be an absolutely PERFECT Murphy. *plots*

As long as you spent more time walking than falling on your back, it's okay.

Feeling kind of dim.  I don't get the joke.  Splainy?

I asked "What does the shirt say"

He said "The shirt says 'if you can read this, I found your ring'".  (I believe this is in mock-elvish to look like the text on the One Ring from LOTR).

So I feel like I did exactly what the shirt's joke was trying to do.

Elvish script like on the One Ring. Few people were able to figure out the trick of making the script visible, much less able to read it then. The one person you KNEW would be able to read it was Sauron.
