Jim speaks much truth

They've read too much Stephen King or HP Lovecraft, and are afraid of Mainers.
AMinorMan:
I am kicking myself because Jim came to San Diego (my stomping grounds) last Saturday for a signing of 'Proven Guilty' -which is INCREDIBLE- and I didn't find out in time to get the day off work. Se la vie, but yeah, that would be cool to have a forum here discussing/posting personal appearances of The Great One.
lahodges:
Mickey, your post about Maine made me lol.
When I saw Jim was going to be in San Diego I really wanted to go, but it would have been about a five hour drive for me and I just didn't have that kind of time. I keep hoping he'll come closer to me, but it hasn't happened yet. Sigh.
neminem:
Dang, I didn't know he'd come to San Diego until just now. That would have been slightly far to get to, but would have been theoretically possible. I'd love to meet him sometime.

Well, you certainly broke the rule of intelligence by not using the handy-dandy edit link to edit your original post to clean up the evidence. :P
EDIT: They call it "modify" on this forum. Same thing, though.

[Insert a joke about my ex-wife here.] I will petition whoever revises HTML to give us a randomized exwife joke function..really I will..
Goofing on my ex aside, I agree with Kalium, it's a population density thing as well as probably a "Let's see.. trip to warm, Disney/Six Flags having San Diego and killer Mexican food or windy, too darn hot in the summer, too darn cold in the winter New England.. lemme see.." factor. I'm a Bostonian and to be honest I'd pay cash to take the guy out for a beer and some good Chinese food or Pizza (say what you will but NYC and Boston have a stranglehold on good pizza and chinese food.)
If he tours the area, you'll see multiple bumps on the post from me.
Oh and one other thing about Maine.. having more people who think "I gotz mah own teeth" is a rare quality per capita is probably NOT a reason to lure a booktour to a state ;)
(yes I'm a flatlander who can't resist the urge to poke at someone in fun sometimes.. if your bothered I'll buy ya a beer if he actually does do an appearance down in Boston)
