Hmmmmm ... I'm going to have to rething this going to conventions thing.

Writing classes are usually an extra fee. Most panels aren't.
Thanks to Creation Cons, a lot of major guests will charge for an autograph. I don't think Jim normally does...I could be wrong...but he was very specifically brought in for this con by Murder By The Book (who had the tables next to him)...and they're a small mom & pop store that fiances bringing authors into Houston with the one requirement that to get a sig, you need to buy a book of the author's from them. They never charge for you to see the author talk at their store, so this is how they recoup their money. In this case, the "store" was the table at the con.
They sold out of the large stacks and stacks of comic hardbacks for the Dresden by Saturday afternoon, btw.
Well loved store in Houston :)

Thank you SO much, Icecream! I didn't think I would get to see that final workshop. Got the rugrat's homework done, and put to bed...time for a treat :)
And Mickey Finn - I am also a HUGE fan of Murder By The Book. They've now allowed me to meet 2 of my fave authors, Butcher and Briggs. And my husband has gotten to attend see/meet/signing events with Ian Rankin and John Sandford. I am so very happy to pay the full retail for my hardbacks when I know it goes to supporting an independent bookstore full of smart, well-informed employees who actually READ the stuff they're selling. Hope they stay around for many years...
