As promised!
I managed to upload the clips from a panel that Jim Butcher was part of on Saturday night at 10:30 PM. Luckily for me, the odd time worked to my advantage because most folks at D*C were partying at that time, and after the panel was over, Jim agreed to sign stuff for those of us that came for him (which was about 20-30 folks, a much smaller group than the hundreds - including myself - that were standing on line earlier Saturday during an official autograph signing that a lot of us were unable to attend because there were too many people.
). He was SOOO incredibly nice! Just had us all exit the conference room, and plopped down on the carpet in a corner of the hallway while he signed the stuff we brought, and chatted individually with each of us. Seriously, a sweet guy!

In keeping with the theme of the panel, Jim told a story about his son when he was in kindergarten. His son had to explain what he wanted to be when he grew up in class. So Jim asked him if he wanted to be an author like his dad. His son was not too thrilled with the idea, giving his father a noncommittal, "I guess so." Jim then asked if maybe he wanted to be like his mother. His son gave him an exasperated look and said, "Dad. Only GIRLS are engineers." (I seriously love this story soooo much)
Anyway, feel free to share the links with friends, if you want. They aren't private, and I don't mind who watches them.
I am in the process of re-encoding Jim's solo panel and will be uploading that sometime soon-ish. Still re-encoding it so I can chop it up properly. I'll post here, though, as soon as it's up, because it's nearly an hour of just Jim Butcher talking.
