Is Jim going to be around for signing on Friday?

Renegotiation is a RESOUNDING SUCCESS! This is now a private, ticketed event, and we'll have the entire upstairs to ourselves from 8 to 11pm. For a mere 30 bucks, you can:
--> Rub elbows with Penguin senior editor Anne Sowards, agent Jenn Jackson, cover artist Chris McGrath, and some dude named JIM FREAKING BUTCHER.
--> Participate in cosplay and trivia contests with FABULOUS prizes!
--> Enjoy unlimited access to an assortment of appetizers and entrees, plus your choice of dessert. (Drinks are extra.)
--> And anything else I can think of!
I'll set up the PayPal stuff tonight, so folks can purchase their tickets. Are you as excited as I am?
I believe he's answered both of these in interviews.
1) "Different, and fun for different reasons" is a good summary as I remember?
2) He will neither play nor GM Dresden files. As a GM it would "be too much like work" and as a player I believe his exact words were that he'd "be a GM's nightmare. 'It is this way and I'll put it in the next book if I have to!' ".
Hope that helps. Can provide links to interviews if you need.
That really would suck as a GM - I could also hear something like that can't happen or didn't happen because of this... Sucks that he wouldn't GM it because I could see that game rockin'
