avi.

Scanned my book.


I'm psyched, yesterday was my FIRST real author signing. (I went with my mom once to see Terry Goodkind, but I'm not counting that.)

Did Anaka make it? Huh? *pokes Anaka*

Now I'm curious about Mack's laugh.

Mack, YOU WERE IN THE SECOND ROW?!?!  So was I, until two seats opened in the first row!

I was originally sitting right next to the woman who did the painting!!!  (erinallen.com, btw)

Gaaah we should have all worn name tags or something!  Or brightly colored hats!

I got a few minutes of Jim talking, too, but not much.  My camera only has about 15 mins of memory on the card I have now, and that goes down with how many stills I take (of course.)  I also tried not to laugh too much, and so now I sound even dorkier on the video...  Ah well!  We can have a "who's laugh is more annoying" thread!   ;D

I remember the Harry's mom question...  Damn wish I'd known it was you... :(

I did indeed. AND I managed to get my book signed, say hi to Jim (who did recognize me, booyah, even though I can reliably state I look nothing like I did back in the day) and make it out of the parking lot one minute before they'd have charged me an extra three bucks. It was a great event, and I'm very glad I went.

Oh! And Jim evidently know a 6'9" Brit named Charlie. I meant to ask him about that, as while a nation may produce any number of inordinately tall men named Charles, I can't help but wonder if we have a common acquaintance. :)

He knows Charlie from AmberMUSH. MUSH degrees of seperation.

Question is, how did Charlie come up in conversation?

Discussing Harry's height?

And Jim DOES say, "Polka will never die". That was cool.

Someone asked if he ever based characters on real life, and aside from the Shiro character--who is based on real people--he said Harry was kind of based on his extremely tall, lean friend Charles (who you would want with you while walking down a dark alley.)   :D

*blink* Ok....I so need to ask him if that's our Charlie or not.

That just put a whole new spin on Harry. If it's our Charlie, the man is all corden muscle on a stretched out frame.

Dear god, it can be a small world. I haven't seen Charlie (RL) since before Jim met him.

Dear god. I haven't seen Charlie since before Storm Front.

I'm going to go crawl in a hole, now.

If he's English and 6'9" tall, then yes, same one.  ;D  Oh, often with women's numbers overflowing his pockets, too, Jim said.   ;D

Hey look!

I /am/ that Charlie. :)

Though I have more hair and a LOT MORE WEIGHT these days. (And am only 6'7, not 6'9 :) )
