WAAH!  We get Jim on book release date AGAIN but I'm not there this time. :'(

I have friends who promised to get me a signed copy.  I'm going to go crazy waiting for the slow as heck military mail...

So, now that Priscellie has moved my question to this area (and the topic should be named "Seattle", and not "Tacoma", as Tacoma is 30+ miles south of the actual signing)--who is going to show up at the Seattle presentation?

They got it right last time, and hey, close is good enough!   ;D  At least they didn't put Spokane or something.   ;)

Obviously I'm not going, but there are a lot of people in that area that went last time.

There or not, just the rumor of him being there is enough for me to fly out from Ohio...


ok, I was gonna be in the area for something else anyway.  But the other version sounds better. :P

I may just have to pack Bob for him to sign. ;D

Did you get him to sign Bob?  (BTW, I saw you there -I was sitting in the row in front of you.) 

I was so excited to get the book and a picture with Jim that I forgot to ask the lady who does the paintings if I could get a picture of her painting of Thomas.  Does anyone know who she is?

Erm... Met her last time Jim was in Seattle.  I want to say Ellen...somethingorother.  Crap, I even talked to her last time!  She gives Jim a painting every time she goes to a signing.  Last year it was TV!Harry and Bob's skull, which she let me take a picture of, but it is too blurry to see her signature.

I wrote it down somewhere but with the move it could be anywhere!  Sorry.

Yeah, Bob got signed.  Jim got a kick out of it too, so I doubt he's signed too many of them.

And what did you think of my shirt (http://www.buzzymultimedia.com/dead-girls-dont-say-no-tshirt.html)?  I got a LOT of comments on it.

Yous is one nasty lady, MSD  I hope your daughters got you good for April Fool's Day.  A disk finally showed up for my computer.  here's crossing my fingers that it works.  How do we check into your broadcast interview with Jim?

I saw her painting last time too -I sat near her.  Wasn't it great?! But I didn't have a camera at that time...  Sheesh!  Last time = brain + no camera.  This time = camera + no brain.  Maybe next time I'll get it right!   :-[

Jeez, maybe I even sat near you too!   ;)  I remember talking to a nice couple who told me about Kim Harrison's Dead Witch Walking series.  If you guys are out there, thanks!  I'm enjoying the series!   :)

(re: Bob signed)  Cool!  Did you have to bring a sharpie or did a normal pen work?  I was wondering about that later.

I was thinking that the shirt was very appropriate considering who you had with you.   ;)  I guess I was a little shy about mentioning that to you at the time. 

A little off-topic but I was at an Irish-style pub on St. Patrick's Day and the minute you got inside, the smell of booze hit you in the face like a wet towel.  That night, though I didn't drink any alcohol, I said a lot of things that I usually just think.  (I was the DD, and I can't drink alcohol anyway.)  I think my friends were a little shocked at some of the things I said and were thinking that I'm Bob's long-lost sister or something.   :-[

Jim had a sharpie already  ;D

and it took me a moment to realize you meant Bob and not the beauty I had with me. ;) :P

Yeah, she was really pretty.  I wasn't sure if she was with you and just in case, I didn't want her to think I was hitting on you or anything.  But I did have a good snicker about your shirt.   ;D

Sorry, Meg - Daughters didn't get me, and Jim won't be on the show this time around. The fact is, he's quite the hot property and my show is really new... (read no track record yet.) But my goal is by next time he releases a book, to be big enough to be a blip on the radar, ya know? That would be one awesome interview!

Hey kids-- I DID get a pic of the awesome Thomas painting (mind you in My mind he looks a bit more like Anthony Kledis of the "Red Hot Chilli Peppers" but without the ink :)  )  So if anyone wants me to post it, let me know.   She's a HELL of an artist.

I LOVED how Jim just dove into questions (I was the one who asked the "what MMO do you play" one).. it was enjoyable.  We'll go next year for sure. 

and of course I LOOOVED the book.. but I don't reallly wish to wait for # 11 now

I think I was in the front row last time too.  I was originally a little bit on the left (while facing JB) but then when they brought in more chairs, I ended up almost dead center.  I lucked out!   ;D  Last year was kind of a blur to me but I know I was wearing shorts and a backpack style purse with a pink peeps bunny on it.

I didn't see your pictures from last year in this thread.  Am I missing something?

BTW, you mentioned "the move".  Are you living elsewhere right now?

I second the motion!  Please do post the picture, xenox!  Pretty please!

I guess you were towards the back then.  I was in the front and asked about "he who walks behind" and if we'd see Susan again.  (And again, I was wearing shorts and the backpack purse with the pink peeps bunny.)    ;D

D'oh!  I meant the Jim on Tour Pics thread!  *is a dork*

I was originally in the second row on the left side but moved up to the first row, last two seats on the left when everyone moved over to the new chairs.  Man, we probably were REALLY close and I never noticed...  I missed everyone from the forum, since we didn't think of a clever way to ID each other.

I did indeed move--I'm in Germany for the next three years.  I'm in the Air Force.

Double d'oh!  I was looking in the archive area but couldn't find your pictures.  Then I looked at your message again and found them.  Thanks for posting them!  I love your jazz hands picture!

I also looked at some of the video from last year and realized that my friend who was sitting right next to me is in the video!  I emailed her the link and she got a good laugh.  What a small world, huh?

Well, last year I wasn't on here (JB Forum) so you wouldn't have known to look for me.  And I guess you won't likely be here for another three years... poor you!  :'(  I feel your pain!

Well, being in the Air Force, at least we can send you stuff for relatively cheap.  Are you missing anything from around here?

I just thought of something...maybe someone with some artistic talent could make up a cool tag size file that we could print out with our user name on it for next year.  Whadda ya think?  Any volunteers?  Not me, I can barely draw well enough to play Cranium!   :P

Hey Sayessa, I just realized that a little part of me is in your first crowd picture!  On the far left there are two blonds and then a tiny bit of a black haired person with a white headband (has a little bow on it).  That's the top of my head.  Yep, I'm Murphy short.   :)  Too bad I didn't know you then.  We were sitting pretty close together.

Hi Folks,

Sorry it took me so long to get this picture of the tremendous picture of Thomas out and posted, note Jim’s head in the lower left!

I knew I should have been more sociable, but alas I suffer from shyness.  There were just too many people there to try and get an informal chat going.  Chatting with the artist lady was about as far as I got!

Maybe I'll make it to the States next signing...  I can hope anyway.
