So excited!  Anyone else going??

[Sandtigress]

I am dragging a friend who I have converted to the Dresden Files there and we should be sporting SPLATTERCON!!! shirts even though we are going to Space City con since we are really only going to see Butcher!  Totally excited.  Now I just need to figure out how many books I'm allowed to bring to get signed.

Now I just need to figure out how many books I'm allowed to bring to get signed.

Jim usually signs three per person.  If you have more than that, you can go through the line again, time permitting.

[Sandtigress]

Ah excellent, thank you.    I have fewer than that for myself, not including the set that my cousin sort of maybe wanted possibly signed so that works out perfectly.  Now to see if I can find a hard back copy of Dead Beat anywhere....

This is what was just posted on the FB page the other day:

Author JIM BUTCHER will be signing many times all three days! He will be hosted at the Murder by the Book booth. You must obtain a "line-ticket" from the booth. He will sign all books you bring to the show, but only TWO books at a time, since Jim usually spends a lot of time with his fans. If you bring more than TWO books at a time, you simply go back into the line again and get your next TWO signed. The fastest way to get your line-ticket is to buy any of his books from their booth!

There are still a few event-tickets left for his Writing Class on Friday and/or Sunday.

We open the Con with a Tracy & Laura Hickman writing seminar as well, and this one is included with any Membership - only a Con badge required.

Murder by the Book will be hosting most of our Authors for signings during the Con, again with hours posted at their booth in the Grand Pavilion Dealer Room.

Ah, thank you! They never got back to me on my email so that's perfect!  I'll have to see if my friend is willing to line up again for my books - we might not have to. And she might do it anyways to trade for waiting for Star Trek signatures. :-P   Thanks again!  Maybe we'll see you there!

Not a problem

I bought tickets to his writing classes.  Not because I have aspirations to write, but to hear him speak.

In case anyone is going and hasn't seen the schedule yet, just posted - http://www.jim-butcher.com/posts/2013/space-city-con-schedule . I realize it's kind of redundant cause it's on this site and all, but you never know.

Is there going to be any kind of Q&A?

[stonebasher]

     Dear Jim Butcher,
   
     I hope you enjoy your time in the MechCorp Battletech: Firestorm Pods.  I wish I could be there volunteering with my friends, but I've got to be at my actual job.  I hope you have a great time in Houston.

Sincerly,
Wes

Didn't see a spot on the schedule for a dedicated Q&A.  So it looks like its only what the fans are asking as they get their books signed.

I'll be at the Mana Punk booth (and likely several of Jim's things if I can break away). I hear we're off the artist alley in the main building (Marriot), to the right of the entrance, if anyone wants to say hi

[Rasins]

Hiiiiiiiiii!!!!

[Mickey Finn]

Ok, to find Jim at his table, next to the awesome Hickmans, he's in the center of the dealer's room...main entrance, turn right, go down hall, enter artist alley, say Hi to the Manapunk table on the right, enter the door on the left past the Yelp table, and find the center of that room (past Gil Gerard)
