I am as well.  I've been waiting several years to meet Mr. Butcher.  He was at RT 2007, and I went in 2008 I was hoping he would be there again.  I missed out.  And now he is coming to Nebraska.  We are making a two day trip out of it for our 10th anniversary.  YAY!!

I already talked to several of the associates at that location and they are already talking about this visit.   I will be there and am looking forward to this event, and the new book.

Omaha, getting closer and closer.  Who else is going guys?  Shandra probably can't get that day off as she is going to the SCA gulf wars.....

I plan on being there as well.  Is there any guess as to how many Butcher fans there are out here?  I guess we'll see when getting in line for signing!

there's a fragger map that Priscellie set up.  I'll try to find it.  If we had a crowd we could plan lunch before or something before we all head back home again...

Here is the official McAnally's map site...  we look quite lonely out here in the midwest folks...

So if you've been lurking,  get thee on the map!!!  I'll send Mystic a note down in KC area, but his work schedule probably knocks him out of the running, plus was there one close to KC already?  Anyway worth a pm. 

PM me if you are in the NE, KS, MO, IA area folks and I'll see what I can work up.

Woohoo!  I'll be there, with son (also a fan) and boyfriend (not yet a fan, but he did know enough to tell me about the signing) in tow!  Does anybody know if there's a limit to the number of books he'll sign at once?  lol

I'll be headed over STRAIGHT after work...  I should be at the store at 6:30 or soish, depending on my lead foot...  Hey, we should all wear/have something so we can all recognize each other.

Well I stopped in and asked how it was going to be formatted.  The manager/supervisor they called to answer my questions stated that they have been inundated with calls.  So they are giving away tickets/arm bands that are color coded.  The Yellow bands the first 50 will be called up first after Mr Butcher does the reading- at least that is how it was explained to me.  The Tickets/bands – some confusion as to which it will actually be – become available at 9am.  Since I work 24 hr shifts and get off work tomorrow at 7 am I will be waiting with a book to get one.  It is up to the author as to what he will and won’t sign.  I personally will be bringing the new book which I finished last night and my favorite one of the series, perhaps a can of coke.  See you all there.

Winter:  At MiHi he was drinking Dr Pepper not Coke, his pref.  Said it didn't agree with his system anymore!  Enjoy.

Wish I was coming, but my office manager's daughter has a concussion---so I'm out of luck.

that's adorable of you, Winter.  Many hugs and lavish kisses,  I'd love it, BUT I apparently have ordered 'two' of TurnCoat already, a 3rd would be more than my budget allows me at moment.  I'm sure I'll catch up with him again soon.  Have a wonderful time.  He is a very special person and very deserving of fans like you!    (Yeah, don't ask how I do that.  It happens a lot with the Butcher books, so I donate one to the public library).

You could have him sign a piece of paper or something.  Tell him it's for Meg who couldn't make any of the initial signings and she is unhappy.  Tell him, I'd give him a hug for the Bob dedication, snifles.  Tell Shannon hello from me and that I look forward to her new fantasy!  I read that the deal was signed on Publishers Marketplace!!!!  And I hope she'll have those really neat bookmarks to...

If you do manage that---get it to Shandra, girl with really long long hair and she'll get it back to me!  Thanks!  Meg
