Did he donate the hair?  He had plenty of it.

That part was kinda weird...I was right there in the third row and I couldn't tell if he said Lash or Lasciel. 

At the release party signing last year in Chicago for TC, the question was asked as well.  I recorded the Q&A on my phone.  When I got home, I reviewed it to make certain of what I heard.  Jim clearly says, "Lash's story is not over."

Sounds like everyone had fun!

FYI - The TSA did not accept Aine's explanation that they won the swords in a trivia contest.  They made her check it!   :o

Also, if everyone who was there can check their books, Aine and Themo ended up with a blank one, which mean someone else ended up with Themo's (which I assume is made out to Seth).

More from them when they get to KC, I presume...

Well I have more pics but I don't want to be cruel. JB doesn't have a gut but I was sitting on the floor to his right and I wasn't getting the most flattering pics of him but maybe of his sort of profile and back of his head most of the time. Atleast I had a front row seat. Forgot to record him in movie form answering my query about getting kick backs from Coke for advertising them in his books. ;) He said "nope" not even from BK. :P

The trivia film isn't too bad. I had to convert it from QT so it wasn't a huge file. I might put it up on my photobucket depending. I need to figure out a good place. I have YouTube but they're all about copyright crap so I don't know about them anymore. I don't wanna have to take a chance they take it down for some stupid reason even though I'm pretty sure I can post it. It's just Jim reading the questions.

Oh, and MF, Themo and I enjoyed meeting you and your lovely girlfriend and getting some toll house cookie points pre-emptively.  ;)  :D

You two were a trip. ;)

That was my first time going to a book signing - any signing actually - and it was Awesome.   Meeting everyone was great, but meeting and then tying against Jim in Rock, Paper, Scissors was the highlight for me.  Thanks again to vjay for the picture.  And thanks to everyone for not taping me to the ground.  Nor killing me.  That would`ve put a dampener on things. 

Aine - I Still haven`t found the Incident in Indianapolis thread you were telling me about.  Would one of y`all throw me a bone and link it?

Landing carved a map of Alera that he gave to Jim, and it even outclassed Rock, Paper, Scissors.  Anyone who hasn`t seen that -- should.

Here's the Incident in Independence thread:

http://www.jimbutcheronline.com/bb/index.php/topic,12215.0.html

We really need a sequel.  Fyr.  *cough*

(today Bookie jumped on a bungee trampoline and Mystic rode a carosel.  Discuss. ;) )

I won't be able to post up the video 'til I get home, but I will!  Also, I put the Q&A in the Q&A thread ( http://www.jimbutcheronline.com/bb/index.php/topic,11734.220.html ) and was gonna post the trivia questions in the trivia thread.

No wonder I couldn`t find it! I was looking for the wrong city.  /FAIL.

Thanks, Aine!

Um... SOME of us have JOBS. Sheesh.  :P

Besides, it isn't Independence. It's the TSA and LARPing thread... I'm still developing the opening scene.....
All I can say is that it involves 6" heels, bells and humidity.

And the world thanks both Bookie and Mystic for the activities not being turned around... Mystic, kilts, and trampolines scare me.
When you wish upon a falling star, your dreams can come true. Unless it's really a meteorite hurtling to the Earth which will destroy all life. Then you're pretty much hosed no matter what you wish for. Unless it's death by meteor.

Who are Bookie and Mystic?

Kilts and Trampolines just sound painful and disturbing.  Or like a phrase that ends vaguely with "and hillarity ensues."  Of course, painful and disturbing often means hillarious.  Especially if there`s alcohol involved.
