I talked to Chuck on the phone, and he said unless you're buying a book and don't care if you're at the end, a wristband shouldn't be needed.  So MidaMan, I hope Chuck knows what he's talking about :D

That seems consistent with what has happened at other signings.  The wristbands just help them group people in line.

Bludrose - if you haven't already, no need to worry about the name tags, we bought some as well.  We're actually trying to print out people's forum avatars to go on them.

I'm not worried about a pic, but if you haven't done mine and want something, some sort of rubber ducky clipart would work. :)

Sticky paper and printers sound like a good idea, but I'm sure never more so than to the printer manufacturers and their newer models when yours is an unholy mess. :D

Whew glad you have the nametags covered. I was afraid to let everyone down :)

Should be there around 4:30, if you're all still gonna be there. 

I'm wearing a pale green shirt and jeans.  The shirt looks like it oughta be a bowling shirt.  Don't ask me why...I'm style-challenged.  ;)

Leaving in 10 or so minutes. Call it 3:30 when I get there.

I'll have blue jeans and a Batman shirt on. My picture's a few pages back, you do the rest.  ;)

Looks like most of us are here at the deli, headed over to the bookstore in a few minutes.

Well that was fun.  Jim pretty much confimed my suspicion that he was writing Mouse to be what his little dog Doombringer thinks he is :-)  Apparently no one had ever mentioned to Jim the typo in Full Moon where Dresden explains to the demon Chauncy that he has his names because his father was a "stage musician" instead of "stage magician" - Maybe it will finally get fixed in the next printing.

Good meeting as many of you as I met tonight.  And sorry for those of you that I didn't meet.  ;)

Also, I feel I owe the city of Lee's Summit my sincere apologies for having to suffer through my singing.  Next time we play Munchkin Cthulhu, let someone win who has a decent singing voice.  ;)

And kudos to Jim, who was still signing books, even though he had to get an ice pack for his signing wrist...and that while the line was still snaking halfway through the bookstore.

"Dancing Chthulu" has been stuck in my head all night now :D  And your voice was fine.  It's not like it was opera or anything.

Took me a couple of tries before I could figure out both the melody and the rhythm they were going for. 

It's funny you mention opera...I was getting ready to do an opera diva version if you'd asked me to sing it one more time.  ;)

It was a lot of fun seeing and meeting everyone that I did at the signing last night! Hopefully I'll figure out where to post some of the photos I took  :)

Yeah Jim was in top form last night.  It was great to meet all the forum members that where there.  Though the IHOP pancakes didn't sit too well with me.

Hope you recover from the pancakes soon.

And it was great fun all around!  :)
