April 10: Changes signing in Los Angeles, CA

<< < (6/6)

Purple:
You mean Harry's Daughter- Jim has a teenage son, who has a girlfriend... The two play video games together (as the hubby and I found out in the Signing line)

trekbette:
I was also at the Huntington Beach signing.

Jim was a gracious guest-author. He told some great stories. The event started at 3 p.m. Several people (myself included) brought many books from home to also have signed. He stayed until after 7:30 signing everyone's books.

The only negative to the whole day was that, to get a wristband, we had to line up at 9 a.m. to buy Changes. That was fine. But that meant we had six hours to kill before the event actually started. Six hours to browse and enjoy a book store... I spent a lot of money!  ;D

Best parts of the day:
1. Meeting Jim
2. Hanging out with other genre fans. To get a seat, we had to get to the discussion area by about noon. We had some great discussions. Everyone was really friendly. In real life, I am quite shy. But I was talking to strangers, laughing and enjoying the interactions of other Dresden fans.

Thank you Jim!

P.S. I am all for getting together for a book group or something with other Dresden fans at other times. Jim brought us all together. But we can meet up without him at a restaurant or bookstore and talk Dresden.

Idiom:
I actually live up in Torrance, but I'd love to join a club like that!  Finding people who enjoy reading is so rare these days!

trekbette:
I live in Torrance as well! My brother-in-law lives in Gardena and he is also into the books. That gives us 3 people for a Butcher Book Club. Anyone else want in?

I agree!  That would be so down.  A collection of Dresden nerds?  HELLS YEEEEAH.  That would be fun!  I'm down, so that's two in the Hunington Beachy area.  :]  We could be our own council!  Like... the Blue Council ('cause Harry's amulet light is blue!) or... the Off-White Council. Hahaha.
