Sweeeet! But someone needs to convince Jim to head down to New Zealand so I can get a book signed and meet him *LOL* :D

It sucks being so far away from conventions (apart from the twice yearly Armageddon) and any good book signings *pout*  :'(

Darn, nothing in Los Angeles?  Aaargh, driving down to San Diego (my home for 17 of my 37 years on this planet) isn't necessarily that appealing.


No plans for the Los Angeles Times Book Festival?  I would think that would be a no-brainer.
When all else fails, read the manual.

'Cellie, you weren't able to talk him into bullying his agent into getting him a signing stop here in OUR stomping grounds? 'Cause I can't have too many signed books, y'know. ;)

You know...he could go to the BORDERS in Saint Peters...

It's a much happier place...not nearly as formal...and I work there... ;D


To sweeten the deal, I'll buy you a steak dinner...

I offered to treat Jim and Shannon to dinner at this ridiculously good BBQ place, but alas, the schedule had already been set.  Perhaps I'll try bribing his agent as well, when she's setting the tour for Dresden #11...

Count me in (i.e., I'll pitch in for that - both the dinner and the agent bribe; for that matter, I'll pitch in the best pizza anywhere, if he's willing to come to our place and get stared at by cats) and which ridiculously good BBQ place? 'Cause I've been in the market for one, being the displaced southerner that I am.

Hill Country BBQ.  It's run by Texans, and they import Big Red soda--this girl's nectar and ambrosia.  Man, I need to get a group of friends together and invent some kind of special occasion that justifies going there soon...  *gurgle*

I'll even up the ante...

Steak dinner and beer.  Lots of beer.  Lots of steak.

I'm really not kidding.

Oh - Texas barbecue. Good stuff, to be sure (and I certainly wouldn't refuse to eat it LOL), but I'm more of a pulled-pork mustard-sauce kind of guy. KC style is okay, too. I was just automatically making the leap to the conclusion that it was southern-style BBQ, not Texas-style. I'll still pitch in and go, though. ;)

Big Red soda? I'd swear I've had that before (lived in Louisiana for 6 years). Is it that wonderfully syrupy cherry-flavored soda? *edit* No, it's not the one I was thinking about - but with it being a cream soda, damn right I'll drink the stuff. Hey, if you like flavored sodas, give IBC Black Cherry a try. I don't drink sugared soda any more (or not much - part of how I beat diabetes), but I do treat myself to one of those a couple of times a year. Yum.

Yeah.  Other than the two Big Reds I've had in the past four months, I haven't had a single carbonated or caffeinated beverage since 7th grade.  I make an exception for Big Red, because it is my childhood in a bottle. :D

That's Yoohoo for me. Or, if I'm in an area where I can get it, Pibb. My wife doesn't even comment when that happens, because 1) she knows it's a rare thing and 2) it's a very special treat.
