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 ;-)

We can barely remember our names right now, either ;) It was great to see you too! I may have to hang up my Murphy hat, though. I'm the same height as Mr. Butcher. O_O;
Agreed! Thank you to Fred for a well-wrangled con - I'm guessing more than twice as many of us Butcher fans showed up than were expected? =D And yes, we missed the signing line cutoff, too - but we got supremely lucky and bumped into him in a hallway!

:'( We videotaped the ENTIRE "Supernatural CSI" panel, which ROCKED (and gave us three more authors we need to buy and read - one of which we already knew about), but my husband's phone battery died five minutes before the panel was over, AND ERASED THE ENTIRE VIDEO!!!
One of the folks in the audience asked of all the authors, "What do you do to when it seems like your characters have too much magical power, in order to limit them or take away some of their powers?"
Mr. Butcher, in answer, smacked a hand over his mouth to keep himself quiet, and the audience cracked up.
Someone near us was also videotaping, so hopefully HIS video survived and we will see it on YouTube or something...

No video from me, but I posted info in two threads in the spoiler section.
Yeah, I asked how Niko and Tessa ended up getting married, did Niko have an alternate form other than his shadow, and later asked for the Bob impression.

Ah, there you guys are. I posted the pic I took of y'all with my cellphone in the Pictures thread.

Most of the people in line for the one-hour autograph session were just there for Jim Butcher, and not the other authors there with him. I hope next time they give him a session to himself, or schedule more than one. There were a lot of folks that didn't get their books signed at this Con.

The 1pm Saturday line, right? That was just for Jim. Each author had a separate line and each line went to a separate table.
