Good point, Uilos!

Hey, folks that were at the signing... what would be your guess as to how many people were in Chicago?  I'm thinking there were more people in Lexington than in Chicago, but I don't know that I had a good vantage point to estimate the Chicago crowd.

The wrist bands that Borders used were handed out 50 per color.  I talked to one of the workers and they commented that there were about 300 people there.

It went from Tuesday evening to Wednesday morning.  It started at 10:30 PM.   The book was released at Midnight. That is pretty late for most people on a work night.

Yeah, I figured that's why the crowd was small.  The guy in Lexington said that Jim was estimating 450 in Chicago, and I thought that sounded way too high.  I couldn't remember how many wristband colors there were... I was stuck on 4, and I was certain there had to be more than that!
