It's a good thing I read this thread. For some reason I had that he would be there @ 7pm. I would have missed Jim!!! Oh the horror.

Yes, it is a wristband event! And the wristbands will be started out at 9 am on Saturday when you buy a book or present a sales slip to the cashier that you bought the book there that week.
If you are going to hang all day there at the mall after getting your wristband you should park in the parking structure, mall cops really do enforce the 90 min parking in front of B & N.
The only exception is a disabled parking placard or plates.
If you need to have a seat tell them when you get your wristband. This to let them know how many seats to reserve.
The limit is 3 items (Changes and two more) you can get back in line but only three at a time.

Just a little correction to David's post. After speaking with the store manager I confirmed you do not have to buy Changes at the book store hosting the signing event. However, you are required to have a receipt or proof of purchase to get a wrist band for the book signing. I panicked when I read David's post because I have already purchased and received two copies of Changes from B&N online. Hope to see you all there.

Well they have revised the policy since I talked to them then.

The hubby and I just got home from the Huntington Beach Signing... Jim's changed- Short hair no mustache or beard!!
Jim was asked about quite a few things including a curse thrown at him from a south american witch doctor- a popular question... My hubby asked him if he would write a short story from Mouse's point of view, and that got a few cheers.
Another person at the signing asked if he would do a story about Harry's mother, Lea and Mab, to which he answered no.
One of the first questions I don't remember that was asked was responded to with "I'm not gonna tell you" in a singsong voice.
The hubby and I found out Jim's son has a girlfriend, and the kids play video games together. I also showed Jim two of my dolls, a red haired fairy woman in a dress with red sparkly cloth wings who wanted pizza, and an elven version of Jim with mustache beard and long hair made of thread and yarn wearing a shirt which said "In the name of the Pizza Lord, Charge!"
The Elven version of Jim also had on a robe with a hood over his face, for the big reveal to Jim- and he stared for a moment before he realized that I had immortalized Him and then smiled. Said doll also had pants on and purple 'shoes'
Idiom:
I was there today as well, had a great time meeting Jim again, and was pretty surprised about the short hair. The question that Jim answered "I'm not gonna tell you" was whether or not Jim's daughter was part vampire. He also mentioned a couple of other things:
1. Title of the next book is Ghost Story
2. I asked whether he'd be increasing the number of Dresden files books, given that he was a two novel / year writer; unfortunately, that won't be the case, and he'll be working on other projects to fill in the time between Dresden books.
Overall, it was a great time. I was really surprised by the turnout, given that 3 years ago when he was in HB for White Night, the crowd was about half the size.
