Thank guys. So you'll deffinately be able to recognize me there. I'm hoping to be there at 5:30pm. Avoid a rush and read some of WN before Jim signs it.

Do you think he'll sign my shirt if I ask him nicely?

Greetings one and all.  It has been several months since I have been able to get on.  Wow.  A lot of new faces.  Given that I live in Lynnwood (a suburb of Seattle), I will be there as well with a small disposable gift for Big Jim.  Hopefully he will let us take a picture with it.

Is Sulien still around and is she planning on coming?

Oh thank God, I'm not the only one bringing something for Jim!  My friends have been teasing me mercilessly about it... ;D

Haven't heard from Sulien...

I am hoping that he will like it.  It took a bit of time to get it looking right.

I just made the "SplatterCon" Badge.

read this thread to see Images of them.

At first I thought of just wearing it, but maybe I'll give it to Jim. *shrug* Maybe.

As I made it, I felt like I've gone from Strong Devotion to Pathetic Obsession.  :P

My girlfriend is making googly eyes at me and rubbing her cheek on my arm, saying "You love me, don't you?"

She wants this:

I'M BACK! I got my book AND my shirt signed. I also gave Jim the SplatterCon badge I made.
I asked Jim a question and he sarcastically mocked me. It was cool.

As I left, I said "hello" to Lord Nedd. Cool hat.

GREAT DAY!!!!  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Darn, I couldn't get anywhere near Lord Nedd because the line was so crazy.  I just happened to see him holding his hat while looking for a seat.

I didn't see you Mack, and I did look!  But I just downloaded my pictures and I think maybe you're in one...  I'll post them later (after I read White Night!)  Sorry I missed you!

He seemed to like the present I gave him...

What question did you ask?

I was like the second person to ask him a question and it was about Harry's mom.
I was seated in the second row.

What did you get him? And did you see the painting of Paul Blackthorn that Jim got. It was beautiful!

I recorded a majority of the Q and A. And I'm going to try to put it on YouTube as quick as I can.

Not tacky at all!  SplatterCon!!! shirts are appropriate for all occasions, including weddings, funerals, and nudist retreats.

Score!  I can't wait to listen!  Thanks, Mack.

It may take awhile. And may not look too good.

1. I have a crappy video compression program (suggest one to me if you can)
2. I got about 37 minutes out of 1 hour and 20 minutes. I ran out of tape!!! I only brought the camera because it was the only camera I have to take digital pictures, then it came to me that I could record how freaking funny his is!
3. 37 minutes of pure footage on a computer is almost 10 gigs of memory and YouTube wants it 100MB or lower.
4. You hear my AWFUL laughter on it. I didn't know I had such a bad laugh, until I watched to tape over.

And Priscella, Jim remembers you!
