I think it's expected that you wear pants at these things (unless you're coming as Ehren)....   ;D

Thanks for the advice  :D

I will miss you, my friend Mdodd. May you find peace.
Snowy,  I am rooting for you. I hope you remain happy and as comfortable as possible.

In recent months, Jim expressed some interest in attending San Diego Comic Con, though we still don't have confirmation as to whether or not he's going.  If you're planning on attending that, you might have another cool person to see!  (And if not, hey, it's still SDCC!  Not like there is a dearth of cool people. :D)

Thought about it too late with my brain surgery this year, want to go even for just one day.

Jim tries to vary up which cities he visits each year.  He hit the west coast pretty well the past two years.  Also:

Wow.

That just made that week a WHOLE lot more interesting.  I took the week of July 24th off for Origins out here in Columbus, but now I think I'm gonna blow that off in favor of driving over to Dayton to get my book signed.

Sweeeeet.

AWESOME! I'll be at the VA signing August 1!  Anyone want to catch dinner before/after the signing let me know... :)

Very sad that this will be the first year that I won't get to see Jim (even if he does make it to Comic-Con, I was not one of the few blessed people able to score passes). :(  Do you know if there will be a virtual signing this year?  (Did I miss an announcement?)

It would be nice if Jim could make it to Northern California just once.  :( Can't get away from work for a 9 to 10 hr drive to San Diego. But an hour to San Francisco is doable!

Well darn, that juts made getting my friend a birthday present a LOT more difficult.  Won't be able to chill out in along the Space Coast long enough to make the Atlanta signing.   Oh well, safe trip Jim, hopefully Houston can show much love next time you swing our direction!

No virtual signing has been announced yet.  I know Jim is amenable to the idea, but the various parties just haven't hammered out the details yet.

Awesome. I will have to try and make it. I don't know if I will as I have to be at work at 5am the next day. I guess I can be a coffee zombie that day. :)

No worries Mademoiselle Priscellie, and you are quite welcome.

As for "saving your bacon", you have done the same for us here on the Boards and in RL many times, I am very happy to return the favor in such a small way. And I am sure you or one of the other astute members of the fan community would have caught the mix up long before it became an issue.

Now stop that or you is gonna make me blush.

Oh, this is sooooooo doable - only 2 hours away - I finally get to meet him!!!!!! I am so excited.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Questions:  Can we bring our older books to get signed? Will there be a limit?  Or is there some other way that would be better to get others signed? Also, do we need to get the book earlier and bring it or purchase it there? LOL, I've never been to a book signing before so excuse the newbie questions and I suppose I should get there early?  :-[

I'm excited that this time I saw the announcement BEFORE the book signing. I will try really hard to make it to the Beavercreek signing. This would be my first Jim Butcher signing and only my third ever author signing. Now I just have to make sure that there are no problems at work to delay me. Can I call a no sick children day at work to make sure I make it to the signing?
