Oh, oh, oh, I am sooooo there, dinner and all.  Heck Mrs. Serack and I have a year long pass at Colonial Williamsburg.

SIGN ME UP!

Edited to add:  Mrs. Serack says she might start reading the books after the Harry Potter Movie release, but she's not sure since she just started classes again and the schedule is grueling.  When I mentioned the NYCC after the fact she said how she woulda liked to have gone, but she wasn't sure about going to the fan dinner and denighing a true fan of the opportunity.  Is there limited seating?

Edited again:  +1 the guy that intro'd me to the series just walked up to my desk and he says he's in.

Added you both!  And at this stage, I doubt there will be limited seating.  If that changes, I'll let you know, and you can make your decision from there.

Hi Garrett,

Talked to the hotel earlier today and they have a piano they can move in the bar area where the talent show will be held.

Butch

Butch, thank you SO MUCH once again.  :)  Let the planning ensue.

Will you be playing at 9 o'clock on Saturday while the regular crowd shuffles in?

If I were to try to get some questions answered, within or not within a Q&A forum, I would limit myself to 2.  OTOH, I have read several "interviews" that consisted of an email of questions with a responded email of answers, and have even read a blog entry where a fan at a signing who writes for a website was offered a phone or email interview by Jim, and I would be tickled if he were willing to do something similar for me. 

He has stated that he expresses himself better in text, so if I were to entertain the idea of an "exclusive" I would prefer it were in the medium of an email anyways.  He has already done at least 20 interviews, panels, and Q&A sessions this year alone so he's already gone above and beyond in making himself accessible.  I am very happy to have had all the material already available to compile, so I'm excited about meeting him, not about the possibility of grilling him.

Possible facepalm coming? Or did it just not quite compute, Garrett?
