Jim at Dragon*Con 2010
Magis:
Thanks to everyone I met both in the insane signing line and other places. Was truly awesome to see the murph/harry combo (though I cannot remember your names) outside the hotel on the way back from lunch.
A BIG thanks to Fred for being such an awesome guy and just chattin' at the signing and on the way to the various panels etc. Look forward to future opportunities to see you guys in the future.
Next goal: actually get a chance to have a conversation w/ Mr. Popular-Butcher. All his lines were absolutely nuts, so out of respect for the other fans it was pretty rough to actually just "chill" and talk.
Most interesting moment: Beyond Binaries 101 panel. Jim as the only male on the panel, and by far the most interesting participant, though I suppose it felt like he wasn't sure why exactly he was picked for it ;-)

Oh, dear lord, more witnesses. I swear, half the con directors showed up to stare at me too.
They do try to do their best. The Fire Marshall was coming down hard on the con this year. Even riding the elevators kicking people off. It was nuts. There was also a fire on one of the upper floors of the Hilton today.
Luckily, since so many turned out, next time Jim turns up they will try to accommodate more fans. Also, realize they have to accommodate a bunch of authors in just a few days time. Plus schedule hundreds of separate events around each other.
OHHH, the charity quilt, which Jim and Shannon signed, went for 1500 bucks. Almost passed out again. The charity aucation was in the room right next to Jim's panel. Walked the line and let people know we did have some signed books up for auction.

I wish I'd known that ahead of time. The line to Jim's autograph session, and the NT Times Authors Panel were both insanely long. Then again, lines for lots of things were insanely long. :)

The Buzzy signing was canceled. If I had to wager, I'd guess they underestimated the number of fans Jim would bring. I got in line for the 1pm signing at 11:30am and was still like 100 people back, but I did get in and meet Jim. From what someone said, the line for his signing actually went all the way outside the building.

I just got back from the Con I was going to tweet and post during the con, but we has crap reception in the the hotel and con floor., We were in the Autograph singing and Jim's Panel. I got to meet Jim and Fred briefly at the signing and got to have a longer chat with Shannon and Jim's editor Anne. The panel was awesome, and we got to meet several other fans from the boards, including the group of people dressed as the Za Lord's Guard.
