I've been to a couple of Brandon Sanderson signings at MBtB, and have several photos to prove it. (So they're cool with it if Jim is...)

A few tips:

The best way to get a low line number is to call them as soon as the store opens on release day (10AM CDT). You can also pre-order from their website and request a line number (or just an inscription if you can't make the actual event, btw), but since they hand out numbers starting on release day, the pre-orders don't get their numbers until they have a chance to fullfil them, which usually isn't until after that first rush of in-store customers (and a phone order is an easy way to jump to the front of that line...)

Also, in order to keep the line moving, you are typically limited to 5 books signed (4 + the new release), but, and this was at least true for Brandon, after all the numbers have been called, you can get back in line and have the rest of your books signed. That can be anywhere from an hour to two hours after he starts signing, though.

Okay, I read Cursor's Fury not too long ago, and it seems a lot of you are missing a key point.

In CuF, Isana's flashbacks seem to indicate that she was pregnant during the siege at First Calderon (FC), which she says is 20 years ago (though this could be a round number). Chapter 47 seems to indicate that Tavi was born while they fled. In all probability, Octavian was born on the exact same day Septimus died.

Isana stunted Tavi's growth to make it seem like he couldn't be Septimus' heir. He was never called short for his age because Isana lied about that, too, making people think that he was born after FC. However, some survivors of FC would have known she was pregnant, and known Alia wasn't, so to make the ruse complete, she claimed that her own pregnancy was miscarried, and that Alia was Tavi's mother. Alia wasn't around to refute it, and Araris/Fade had just as much reason to protect Tavi as Isana. It's unknown how long they were in hiding, probably long enough so that Bernard wouldn't have to be let in on the ruse. However, Isana couldn't hide the fact that Alia was dead for long, so Tavi's presumed birth date is probably no later than a year after his actual birth date.
