Jim and Shannon will both be in Williamsburg this weekend for Marscon. there is a thread about it here maybe you can still get a ticket.

I seem to remember the website listing an alternate price if you pay at the door so I think there is still plenty of opportunities to get in.

I'm with Seriphina...please come to Indy! I would bring my mom and various others!

Indianapolis is an awesome place! Lots of places, including Chicago and Cincinnati and Dayton are within driving distance. St. Louis is within driving distance as well. I would help find place to eat for all interested. There is a TON of stuff to do here. NONE of my fav authors have ever come to Indy for signings. And based on the amount of people always in the Sci-fi areas at local bookstores there is definitely a following. Oh, please come to Indianapolis in the Spring time!

If not Indy then Dayton would be awesome cause I could go see a friend who I've been to book signings with before. She likes JB as well. Seeing her gives me excuse to shop and go out to eat! ;)

Sacramento, California.  Central location in California, within a couple of hours of all the major northern cities. 

Or, hell, anywhere in Northern California--San Francisco, San Jose, Marin, Napa, I can travel... Southern California, though, is too far and too expensive to travel to, even for Jim.

Priscellie,

Do you know if they ever attend the World Science Fiction Convention?  It's in Reno in August this year.

It's early, but I think he might have noticed how very loved and popular he was at Dragon Con last year...

If he comes again, I have a feeling that the staff will realize the error of their ways and give him bigger rooms now.   ;D

Atlanta, Sept 2-5, 2011.

(If not this year, then please don't make us poor dedicated southern fans wait another four years.  I may not survive!)

Alternatively, anywhere in SC, the southern half of NC, or the northern half of GA would be awesome, and I'll be there with bells on.

I second the vote for Dragon*Con again this year. Glad I got to the signing line 3 hours early or I wouldn't have gotten in. Got to meet Fred Hicks too, which was an unexpected bonus.

Also, how about Chattanooga? A bookstore signing or one of the small sci-fi conventions in town would be awesome.

Somewhere in the San Francisco Bay Area please, Santa Clara County would great.
Last time Jim came CA, he hit San Diego and the LA area. I couldn't go that far, still can't.

Eugene, Oregon. It's only a few hours south of Portland. There's a Borders here that would be perfect for the event!

I'd drive to just about any place in New Jersey.  Heck, I'd even make a home-cooked meal.
