April 9: TC signing in Omaha, NE
Winter:
Yes the crackberry was in use. We , the wife and I, are back home now. Jim was awesome. 30 minutes of Q&A. The guy has a grin like a demented leprechaun. He was alone and there were over 200 people waiting for autographs. I was #6 in the numbered line the first 5 spots were given to the people that went to pick him up at the airport. Sorry Meg, I didn't get you an autograph. I had him sign the latest two hardbacks and then felt self conscious about the people behind me. We have several pictures and of course the obligatory while signing photo, one of which is priceless.
I will say this, Barnes and Nobles did a great job, Jim was great. The whole event was well worth the time i spent there. I was the guy in the fire department sweat shirt. The downside of this event is the shear number of people, I would love to sit over dinner and bs with Jim, there with all the people it was nice but his personality is the type that makes you want to call him up when you have a cook out.
Well I am tired 5 am comes early. Off to bed.

He is great, isn't he? No worry. Shandra called me. She got him to sign a TC for me, personalized! We're going to swap out.
Shandra never met him before. She was incredibly impressed as I expected. Sorry Shannon didn't make it.
And I love your grin like a demented leprechaun line. cool!
Is your wife an addict as well? LOL
Shandra:
Winter,
I was the girl in the red dress shirt (#37, entirely by coincidence, I arrived at 5pm) standing right behind the center row of seats. I really wanted to shout out "anyone from the butcher boards here", but ended up being too chicken/talked out of it by my non-boardie friends.
More details about the Q/A to come later.
Winter:
yes this is one of two series the wife and I both read, Kim Harrison is the other.
Butcher commented about 3 authors during his Q&A and I forgot to write them down. It sounded as if they might be worth looking into. Shandra if you remember em please let me know.
BethyB:
I was there too - pink top, brown pony tail, early in the second set of armbands - had a GREAT time, Jim is SO much fun. Darn it, I can't remember the other authors now either. Piffle.
