I as behind Group 13 to get a photo of Jim & my Daughter from MarsCon signed.  They wouldn't let me get it signed when I went through in Group 2.  It wasn't a book, therefore I couldn't get it signed.  Bitter, nah.  Got it signed in the end.

I listened to the audio on my Flip on the way back from DC, sounds good.  Gotta get that ripped & posted.

I think Jim broke out "I'm not going to tell you" at least 6 times!  Who's on the hit list was one time.

First sentence of Cold Days,

"Mab had some interesting ideas on Physical Therapy..."

I'll get more posted tomorrow. Today. Later Today, you know what I mean...

Yay! you got it signed!  i told ya he'd sign it.  i made it home around 1ish and crashed, and burned.  i gave one of my signed books to my friend's daughter who came with, abby.  she was ecstatic.  Toe-mos i owe you one. everyone else, glad you guys had fun. jim's great and fred's awesome.

is this a bad time to point out that i have NO clue where the bookstore is in Tyson's Corner?

Glad you enjoyed the beer Heartsonycgr!  I'm looking forward to seeing everyone again.

ohhh you don't happen to know how to make lambics do you? i totally meant to ask you that at marscon.  my brother tried and failed miserably. so he just started making super flavored vodka (mmm cherry cordial too so tasty nom nom nom) *screeeeeeech* ok tires back on track.  so if you bring me good beer i'll try extra hard to make it.  hmm wait. by good beer i mean something i like.  i'm not a fan of stouts. so something aley or fruity.  wait that wasn't completely back on track.  *looks at the treadmarks* ehhh close enough. it's kinda on the road. sometimes. a little.

hmm. all things considered, i might not be able to make it now.  don't count on me to be there guys.

Will your boss let you leave early enough to join up for a forum meet and eat?

i don't know. it really depends on the mail tbh. we have hours until 12 and then i can leave when the mail gets here that day and just pick up the extra stuff i didn't do the next few days. in theory to tyson's it's about a 2 hour drive with traffic it could be more.  i'll need to figure out the exact address so i can cheat and gps it.

Yeah... I don't think I'll be able to do anymore cons for the next ten years.  I really shouldn't have gone to NYCC, much less another convention not half a year later.  As it stands, I don't even have the money to preorder Ghost Story at this point.

orly?

I live between Richmond, VA and Washinton, DC and I want to try to find a good release party.  I know there's a few Dresdenphiles down toward Virginia Beach and Williamsburg and I keep hearing rumors of a few up near Baltimore.  I guess it boils down to "Who's going to have the best Ghost Story release party in the Mid-Atlantic Region?"

Feel free to discuss below:

i could do DC or baltimore. if i'm picking up garrett it'd be dc only and even then it is 8 hours of driving for me. also, it being a tuesday makes my probability nil, as right now i'm the only person at work who can do my job.
