Damn, not enough time to ask for Wednesday off from work.  :(

Wish they'd post these announcements earlier.

Well... you're looking a little peaked to me. Feverish, even. ;)

March 12th?

Huh. Must've missed it.

Well, just gotta keep my fingers crossed or beg for the day off.

I'll probably just check out the Barnes and Noble early, probably be there by 5-5:30.  I'm hoping to be off the roads before rush hour hits hard and heavy.

Inconceivable!

I'm going to this. Driving down from Wisconsin. It will be a long day, but it will be worth it. I may be up for meeting up with you fine forum folks beforehand.

I don't know if I'll make the meetup beforehand, but I'll look for people at the event.  I'll probably have my bright red Red Court t-shirt on. 

(Here's my Facebook page in case anyone wants to get in touch).

Seeing as how the signing is on a jewish holiday(for the second time in a row!), is it possible for someone to bring a camera along and record the Q&A(if there is one)?

Yeah, I should have done this earlier too.  Chiro, ok to friend you?  I don't use the accounts much, but might be useful Wednesday :)

Tis my intent, Dmander, barring anything extraneous interfering.

Still in the gameplan to be up there at 0900 when the store opens and chilling out the day till things start happening.

I'm far too shy to do the group meet-up thing at Johnny Rockets, but I'll see all of you fine gentlemen (and ladies) there tomorrow.  ;D  Driving down 3 hours from Madison to Chicago, but it's well worth it IMO.  Probably going to the Field Museum first for a bit too, just to see Sue in all her prehistoric glory.

Parking can be quite nasty at Old Orchard.  Get there with plenty of time to spare!

So... Taking bets on how long into the Q&A  someone asks,  "Why does Dresden have a hat on the cover of the books?"  Don't be that guy!

But bonus points if you ask that and then follow it up with "Why are YOU wearing a hat?  Why are you all wearing hats?!  Dear God, THE HATS!!"

For me, the question that is overdone is "Will we get to see more of the Jade Court?"
