We are at 300 now for the signing, folks :)

I'm here at the store now.  Nobody currently on site with the book.

Wow, glad I pre-ordered when did. I thought 85 might take awhile, I'd hate to be back at 300.

I believe in True Love, Susan and Harry will always be the one true love, because even reminders of that love will always remain.

Jim Answering questions..no not pointing us out :D


Yep, more questions :)


Another of "The Group"  We had a GREAT Time! Oh and for anyone who wants to know, YES, the basket did have everything in it, a gun, a knife, garlic, a tape recorder (which I used), 3, yes THREE crosses, and HOLY WATER! OH and btw, it even had the invitation (see below)


Chiro getting book signed (I couldn't get a decent pic from face view of both, sorry!)


MX getting book signed. (See above explanation ;D)


The invitation

Wish could have met you, GW, I was so looking forward to it!

Ok the level of detail in that red riding hood costume rocks.  I especially love the invitation (and the tape recorder, see PM)

Thank you, Serack, I was so excited, ended up doing most of the costume by hand, ended up hand stitching it the night before because I went and washed the cloak thinking it was going to rain (it didnt) and that the fabric would run, and the seam bonding came apart on it. :D

Here's the contents of Susan's basket I used, minus the invite which I already posted above, I found a really cute heart shaped basket (how appropriate ;D).

Thank you, Priscellie, I wish, after last night, I could go to one of the Cons, I think I'd have soooo much fun with all of you, heck I enjoyed last night so much, I didn't want it to end!!  I hope he's close enough next year I can go again, with my new idea for a costume, geez, not contest! (thanks to Blaze).

Ali! I am so glad I met you in picture.  :D You seem so nice as I imagined you. And I am very happy (and envious  :P) for "the gang" having a great, great time.

And your costume is awesome! I hope you had fun doing it! You totally rocks!
Missing you, Md

Does anyone have an estimate of how many folks showed up and now late Jim was signing?
