When I saw Jim with the ultra short hair I thought how he could've been hanging around inside the store for an hour and no one would have known!

I thought we met before? Or was your name on here always *V* and your pic just looks like someone I've met? :)
well my real name is Veronica but if you live in the Houston Area we could've met somewhere.  I used to use my paintball name as Forum names (Medusa) but since I haven't played paintball in years I kind of shied away from that.  I will be playing a 26 hour paintball scenario this weekend coming up so the return of Medusa may be revived.

I won't be able to make the BBQ but I'll see (meet everyone for the first time) at the signing.

  Last time MBTB mandated one Butcher hardcover be purchased and three item limit first time through.  Store opens at 10am.  Last time I called at 9:45, paid by credit card, received a line number (lined up in groups of 10) and retrieved the book later.
Thanks!  I'll be calling them then!

MBTB doesn't have an online store.  The last time I went to a signing there I emailed them and David was very nice and put aside a book for me.  When I got there I paid for it (as well as a couple others - I go a little crazy in a bookstore) and was assigned my number.  I had gotten there really early so I sat down in one of the chairs and read my book while I waited.  Next door to them is a coffee place but its not like a coffeehouse.  They sell coffee beans but only regular cups of coffee so if you want Starbucks or the like you better pick it up on the way. 

Oh yeah, mark one down for me showing up!  Neither my husband or son are into books the way I am.

I love this in the directions:

"one (1) mile east of the Compaq center ( the building formerly known as the Summit"

We used to go to the Summit for Concerts a long time ago.  I still call it that out of habit.

Is it the lap of luxury?  Sweet!  I just like the thought of being able to roll out of bed and wander around high-end department stores where I would never actually buy anything as a vacation.  ;)

That's what we did, AD.  It's hard to judge the distance between the Galleria and the site of the signing but being close to the Galleria definitely has other perks and it looks to be about as close as anything else. 

My parents used to stay at the Westin when they'd come to Houston to visit.  Its a very nice hotel.  The view from the side with the fountain is pretty.

Do we want to do anything silly like all wear identical " badges" so we know we're all from the forum?  We could all print out Bob and wear him on our shirts.  ha ha

I live here and I still get lost.  But I have been there before.  I'll google map it and find it the same way I did before.

I went there for another book signing last fall.  It doesn't have a huge area for the book signing so it will pack in.  I got there real early last time but I was glad I did.  I wasn't one that had to stand against a bookcase.  That bookstore is so cool!

Speaking of Murder by the Book ... there was a Valentine's Day story about McKenna Jordan and David Thompson who fell in love while working at Murder By the Book, the mystery bookstore they now run. Read it here: http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/life/main/6864334.html


That is a really great story.
