Which one were you? ;) I was at the Overland Park signing too.

I was the guy in the big blue news jacket, standing over by Jim's chair during the Q&A. I asked him if he outlined a lot before he started to write a book, and my friend who was standing right beside me asked him who he would liked to have direct the Dresden Files if it ever went to the big screen. I had a grey Targus backpack and my firend had blue and black bookbag.
Uh...we were the youngest ones there I think. I have black spikey hair and a chin strap/goatee...that's how most people identify me.
Any of that ring a bell?
Tasmin21:
I think i was on the other side of the bookcases from you during the question and answer period, 'cause I couldn't see who asked the director question.
I was the long curly haired female in the black leather biker jacket.
blgarver:
Hmmm, I don't remember any long females.

Do bear in mind that editors are people too, and conventions are at least as much about having fun to them as about doing business; if you hard-sell yourself at a stranger, it's very easy to turn them right off and earn a name as a pushy jerk.
blgarver:
Yeah, I'm not looking to do that. I just want to go and get involved, be part of the world I claim to be a part of. The first few I attend won't even be about business. Those will be just pure nerd fun, and about meeting people.
I think it would be awesome to be at a huge gathering with like-minded people.
