When given the choice between shelter and a Jim Butcher signing, the correct answer is always "Jim Butcher signing".

True... if I were the only one that would affect... My kids might be a little put out the next time they came to visit daddy and had to share a cardboard box though... and I know the ex-wife would be a sore-head bout the whole thing  ;D

I was hoping that he would give the whole story, because I figured that there were quite a few people that weren't familiar with the story.

I was one of them.. thank you for asking the question  :)

He was so kind to answer two of my questions.  The first about collaborating with his wife.  "No, because we want to stay married."  :)

The second about the bet that started the Codex Alera series.  It's such a great story, and he really went into detail about it.  He could have just gave a simple answer.  But instead he made sure that everyone there knew the story behind it.

I was sitting in the second row of seats on the same side of the room as you were sitting on. I really enjoyed his answer to your question about the bet that started the Alera series. I had not heard about that before and was very amused by it.

Pokemon and a Lost Legion... naw, that will never work. oops  :D

I was at the Dayton signing, and I must say that Jim Butcher is an exceptionally humorus and articulate speaker. He was great to listen to, and answered all the questions to the best of his ability without giving too much away. I really enjoyed his answer concerning his "awareness" of fan fiction, and his answer to my question about how he got started as an author. I knew some of the story, but he went into great detail and told more than I was aware of. Seeing as it is his life he was talking about, that would seem appropriate.  ;)

I had a great time and will definitely watch for him to be in the area again.
