I'll be the guy dressed up as Marcone.

...uh, actually, I'll just be coming from work, but hey, I can pretend I'm dressing up for it!  ;D

Still room for another Dresden fan for the meetup?  I'm leaving work early to get to Tysons by 4pm!  It should be fun this evening!  8)

Roighty-oh, I'll be the one floating about the place in the bright blue scrubs.  There might be a grey cloak in there somewhere, too. :D

Me and my +2s are at Tyson's, with Dresden Pony! Looking forward to tonight! (thanks for the compliments on him so far, by the way!)

Wish I could go. If I'd known we'd get zero help with the kids on this "family vacation" I'd have gone to it, no matter how ticked my mother got. Nice to be constantly ditched on your "family" vacation, yet you can't take any time to go do your own thing. If I could get there in time I'd just pack up the kids and head north. So I'm bitter, sue me. ;)

 Could someone video The q&a and post it on utube anyway? :)

I'm in line now for getting my signing number.  As of 4:30 pm, there are about 250-300 people here.  The line goes outside the mall, and it has started to rain!

If you are not here yet , best of luck!

Very cool book signing.  Probably close to 400-500 people.  Jim and Fred were extremely friendly and made a point to interact with everyone.

I didn't really get to talk to Fred, but by that time I was about to fall asleep. In fact, I'm going to go to that right now. How many groups were there?

Awesome time tonight at the signing. Its funny, for my first bok signing experience it was not at all like I expected. I had a great time though. Like I said there, the pony is awesome. Thanks for the experience everyone.

(click to show/hide)

I'm sure there were other new tidbits, but I was standing at the back and couldn't hear everything. Myrrdin was up towards the front video taping it and Serack was also up towards the front, so I'm sure they can be of more use for new tidbits...  :D
