If I had known you would be leaving so soon after jim talked I would have gone over to see you! I'm going to put a thread up in the fan work section but here is a pic of the finished Map.
Jim seemed really excited! said he was going to hang it up in his office at home. Aine filmed it.

Damn! Nice job ;)

We had originally intended to stay longer (and me to make lunch) but the timing was off with work due-dates of major projects.

On another note, any Texans notice that when Jim Butcher comes to town, we have nice weather until he gets here, then it gets hot & humid? It's like the state says "We have an image to uphold."

It was fine up til Monday night, and tonight it goes back to being nice.

I have a few pictures and a short video from the signing.




This one is me and Jim, he is holding my Pen. I have had a couple of other authors sign with that same pen! :)



This is me in line and I took a picture while the two ladies separated and I could see him. I was also standing next to these two most of the signing. I didnt remove the Red Eye from Jim because I thought it made him look kind of super-natural.

this is a short video where someone asks the first question of the Q&A. I was too busy listening and trying to ask questions to get much more of this part, and I was at a crappy angle to shoot footage.

errr, every time I try and post that video it gets all wonky. I did manage to post it once, but then it linked straight to my photobucket and sent you to my album. Anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Sadly, I do not. I kinda suck at code, despite spending 2 decades in tech support.

PS: Aine brought me cookies, so I could take them from her.

I like this woman.

I'm not familiar with photobucket's video capabilities, but you could always try uploading to YouTube.

Oh ya! you should have heard everyone gasp when they announced that he had cut his hair off!

Priscellie you need to post this as a major announcement on the forum! Jim cut of his hair!  ;D

Swords?  Did someone say something about swords?

I'm sure if we just let the TSA people know we won a *Dresden trivia contest* they will be totally understanding on the whole matter.  ;) ;D
