He had jeditigger acting as Gatekeeper, handing him the two books or items to be signed.

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.

Best. Answer. Ever. Of course, I'm WAY more Rue than Katniss so I'd be SO dead. 'Cellie would probably be the one decorating me in flowers.

No, wait, I like the Rue metaphor, but from earlier on ;-) POOF, you're right there going "shhh," with a handful of Everything You Need, then THIS WAY! and instant Perfect Hiding Spot, then soft smile and point behind you, there you go, Exactly What You Were Looking For. Ta-dahhh.

Well, people aren't there to see ME. My goal was to be as unobtrusive as possible and let you guys - you wonderful people who stood hours in line to meet Jim - do your thing and have your time with him.

But I like the metaphor your way, so thank you for the kind words.

Aw shucks... no my dear, YOU'RE amazing! Lol :D

Waiting in line was no problem too. Just chatting Dresden verse stuff and also telling everyone about the forums was an awesome way to pass time :)

You managed to take a pretty good photo with my phone, too. Thanks!  :)

Shocking! Are you sure it was me? I basically just made sure the pics came out and returned the cameras. :)
