Good point, Uilos!

Hey, folks that were at the signing... what would be your guess as to how many people were in Chicago?  I'm thinking there were more people in Lexington than in Chicago, but I don't know that I had a good vantage point to estimate the Chicago crowd.

The wrist bands that Borders used were handed out 50 per color.  I talked to one of the workers and they commented that there were about 300 people there.

It went from Tuesday evening to Wednesday morning.  It started at 10:30 PM.   The book was released at Midnight. That is pretty late for most people on a work night.

Hello Everyone, first time posting here.  I logged in because I found out from a friend that people had mentioned me.  I was the Pizza 'Spress girl at this event.  I can't tell you how surprised I was that so many people liked my outfit!

McAnally, I have the photo the Borders' woman took of the three of us after we won, would you like me to post it here/e-mail it to you?  I agree, John was underrated.  He needed his entourage. 

PizzaGirl,  I liked your costume because it was different and a part of the story but one anyone could do but you thought of it and put it together and it is an inside joke to the Dresden readers.  If someone saw you who did not know the story they would only think "Pizza 'Spress.  I haven't heard of that restaurant.  I wonder if it is any good."

RE: Picture.  Please post it if you can or email it to me.

Thanks.

McAnally you won hands down!

Thank you.  Since McAnally is such a quiet character I was worried it would be missed or overlooked.


I think that the man who dressed as 'Gentleman' John Marcone was underrated.  Since he only introduced himself as "John".  After Jim had the costume contest participants get in line after the first group of wrist tags I had the chance to talk to him.  He played the character quite well while in line.

The Pizza Spress delivery girl was a great idea.

The funny part for me since I am fairly tall was looking straight over the heads of so many of the 'Harry Dresdens'

I went last night as well.  Am I wrong, or had Jim never mentioned the titles of the Capstone trilogy yet?

The titles are..."Hell's Bells", "Stars and Stones", and "Empty Night", as announced by Jim last night.

I had a great time as well.  The guy dressed as Mac looked authentic.  I got there around 10pm and work obligations today 'forced' me to simply stand in line for the signed copy without getting anything personalized.  Jim will be back in the area for Duckon in June (or July) and I'll see him then.

I was 'Mac' that night.

Thank you! 

I decided to go with who I looked like based on the descriptions in the books, instead of who I want to be. 

Has anyone put up pictures or video online yet?
