I would recommend getting to the bookstore by 6, maybe even 5:30.

Do we want to meet for a 'late lunch'? 2:30 or 3ish?

I could maybe wrangle 3pm.  My mother's filling in for someone else, so if she leaves a little early no one will complain.

So now the question is which place?
My vote is Jason's Deli, they have some cheeper options like half sandwiches and soups.  Plus free gingerbread muffins and icecream  ;D  Did I mention really tasty food.  At least, the two different ones I've been to both were good.

Is it smoke-free?  I know Aine has a pretty serious allergic reaction to smoke. 

I am open to pretty much anything, as long as it's not too exotic foodwise.  I am not adventurous when it comes to food.   :-[

I can't remember if Lee's Summit is a smoke free city or not. Most of them around here are.

Again, pretty open right now.

I admit some reluctance, just due to...how to word this. I'm a bit of a shy person, and in some ways, meeting people from the internet has a bit of awkwardness to it.  ;)

But. Not saying I won't. Will there be some sort of "signal" or something? As in, some way for those of us lacking pictures to find the "designated table"?

Also, any word on doing something after the signing? Some mentioned Jim coming; any word on the likelihood of that? The meeting, and Jim appearing?

Look for guys in kilts.

I offer myself up as a signal.  Just look for the red hair.  Trust me, you can't miss it :D

I completely understand your hesitance.  Several of us said the same thing before we met last year.  After about 12 seconds, all that went away.

We will definitely do something after the signing; whether or not Jim will be there is probably something that we won't know until it happens or doesn't.

You and Themo!  Although, he doesn't have much hair...  :P

Aine, Themo and I will be together (and maybe Mystic?) and probably being obnoxious loud talking enthusiastically.

Here is one of the pics from Independence last year, with identifiers:



I will likely either be wearing my Faery Maid t-shirt or my Order of the Large Cooking Pot t-shirt.

....I have a feeling I'm going to be on the young end of this crowd, perhaps.

*Sighs* Already posted it once...

Reference Picture:

Anywho. As I've said, at the event itself, I'll have my roommate and another friend attending (assuming all schedules work out nicely, etc. etc.). They might come to an after-event, especially if Jim is convinced to go. But I'd be the only one at the pre-event bit. I might just sidle in and sit down to talk, and not worry about buying food. >.>

So. If I understand, the afternoon shindig is at 3pm, and it's recommended that everyone try to get to the store between 5:30 and 6pm?
