Do we know his Dragon*Con schedule yet?

I went to the first signing he had on Friday (mostly to make sure I got in because I know D*C lines escalate as the weekend rolls on) and got the three books I wanted signed - SubPress Backup, First Lord's Fury, and the hardcover Storm Front that my boyfriend managed to finagle from the internet for a cheap sum. Also, my boyfriend ended up ahead of me (if you were in line that day, we were - I think - the only Harry/Murphy pair in line) and he got our Bob the Skull that I put together years ago from an aquarium skull and some orange sticky notes signed.
Gotta find me a new skull now. XD This Bob's getting pride of place on the tall bookshelves away from kitties.
Also, do we have a photo sharing post? I've been looking for pics of us and I snapped a Maeve that was in line with us as well as a Michael and a Molly who teamed up together from different points in the line to take a picture.
I was wondering why that sounded so far away! We ended up towards the front but allllll the way to the left edge.
Every now and again we'd let three slide past, but Jim's goal is to say hi to as many people as possible, and he can't do that if some schmuck brings up 10 books. No way would I, or anyone else guarding him, let that happen.
You guys were amazing, by the way. So friendly, so patient. I am always impressed by the caliber of people Jim's writing attracts.
And YAY I did see you!!!
You'll probably be best off trying microbrews. Saw a sorghum based brew but haven't tried it. Or you can learn to make mead. Honey, water, yeast, fruit if you like.
Mmmmm..... I'm going to have to crack open a bottle from my christmas stash this weekend.
Ditto on Dragon*Con. I'm new to the book series and didn't get the opportunity to attend any related panels in 2006.
I'm also looking to see if anyone here is interested or willing to run a fan table in the Marriott mezzanine. I'd do it, but I'm already committed to another fan group. Fan tables are free, BTW. But if someone were interested, I'm more than willing to offer my experience, skills and resources to the endeavor. I've been organizing and running them for various groups for the past 4 years.
I dare you to find one point in either Sherlock or Iron Man where he was legit scared.
