Jim's 2011 Signing Tour (CONFIRMED!)

[Alilisa]

did you get off work today, Chiro, or didn't it rain hard enough?

[Chiroptera]

We were delayed a bit.

[MX]

I actually have no idea where I am right now.

I hope you recovered ok from your late night, early rise

We need to get you one of these phone too  Verizon has a phone designed to take a beating called the Casio Commando.  Might last ya a bit

[Alilisa]

yeah as long as you got some sleep after.  MX you need a job with the phone company between last night and tonight

[Chiroptera]

I slept well - except after our power went out and something out in the hall had low batteries.  Every two minutes it kept saying "Low Battery."

Oh no.  I spend too much time at work back and forth as it is.  I couldn't imagine selling them too.  Helping friends is worth it though

[Alilisa]

Oohhh that'd be annoying, Chiro, but I would believe it, with the storm I hit on the way home, that lightning and rain was horrific!

Can I send you my Recorder and you can tell me how to get it to run now, MX?

May I recommend a fan?  I sleep with one running purely for the white noise it provides, but it helps to block out annoying sounds like that.

If you sent it to me, it might get wisked away permanently at this rate 

[Alilisa]

  like has been happening recently? (MIA on the way down so I had to buy another, then found it, and then it vanished once I got home and I found it again? I swear there are little things stealing it from me and putting it down again!!

You met me, am I really that bad?? Wait...don't answer that

[MX]

You met me, am I really that bad?? Wait...don't answer that

Not you nor anyone I had a chance to speak with, but that damnable recorder on the other hand...

[Alilisa]

  Isn't that the truth!

[Lord Rae]

How'd the Atlanta signing go? I HATE that I missed it but previous commitments and work the next day (I'm here now at 5am) kept me from making the short drive. When I called to ask about the crowd they said they were up to 200 on the tickets and that was at like 545 or so... heh. So I knew with having to get up so early there was no way I could go. Sad.

I will definitely make it next year if Jim ends up anywhere near Atlanta.

[Priscellie]

IMPORTANT UPDATE!

This just in, from Jim's publicist:

8/1, McLean, VA at Tyson’s Corner: A recent B&N receipt for any of Jim Butcher’s books is required to join the signing line. Passes handed out at 5pm.

8/2, NYC, NY at Tribeca: The first 200 customers to buy GHOST STORY at the store get guaranteed seating, all others are standing room. Passes handed out at 10am.

Well I guess its a good thing they aren't specifying which book in case they run out of Ghost Story you can purchase any of them.

[MrsAWiggins05]

You could relocate the baby shower....  I'm sure the folks putting it on would let you set up a corner seating area. :-)

There's an idea! The guests wouldn't have liked the four hour commute, I'm afraid. But I had a good laugh over the idea of a baby shower in the corner, trying to ignore the rampaging Butcher fans.

some guy who wrote some book? if shes your best friend how come shes not going with u

Unfortunately, she's not my best friend because we have similar tastes in books. She's my best friend because she's funny and speaks four languages. Dresdenian isn't one of them, though :-(
