Jim at RT Convention
BigMama:
You can attend the Saturday book signing for $5.00, payable at the door. :) Also you can bring books that you already own to the signing and the authors will be happy to sign them for you. You must have them tagged before you go in so they won't try to charge you for them as you leave. The book signing is very casual and fun and it is great to see all your favorite authors in one place! Be prepared to stand in line for the bestselling authors like Charlaine Harris, Chrstine Feehan and Jim. I found that the earlier you get there the better. I think the book fair opens for the general public usually around 10:00. Hope to see you there! :D

What BigMama said about the signing. As for food and dress, you'll probably find a lot of beef products and Mexican food (being in Houston this year). Dress is any and everything. Here are a few pics from last year's event in Daytona Beach to give you an idea. You might find people in business suits:
Or teddys:
Fancy dress:
Or "whatever you throw on":
There are no rules.
Here's what the book signing traditionally looks like. The authors are squeezed into tiny spaces just big enough for a few stacks of books and are side-by-side at long tables that fill the whole room. It's pretty much a madhouse, but you get a diagram of seating when you come in, and the lanes of tables are marked with surname letter (A-C, or De-Dr, etc.)
All in all, it's a great time. I'm sure you'll enjoy it! :)
Wolfhowls:
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...ok
Mickey Finn:
Cathy's been to both these type of cons & scifi/fantasy cons, which I think is a whole nuther ballgame.
If you decide to go to A-kon, DFWCon, or Fencon in Dallas, or Aggiecon in College Station, let me know. You may need to be warned about a few things ;)
Kirra:
Aggiecon? I'm afraid to even ask.
Does anyone know what books Jim is bringing to sell at his table? I gave one of my sisters several of mine to read and need to go back and fill in my collection.
