That's exactly what I heard them say at the original event on 11/29 as well. I've been following this thread and the RDB website every few days since.
That's nice. That also smacks of saying, "nuh-uh, because I was there and they said this," when you weren't there with me, and didn't hear what the woman told me. Either on the phone, at RDB at 5:45, OR at the venue, half an hour later.

I'm sure nobody in the KC area thinks a whole lot about heading downtown after work for a book signing.
Someone who lives in Omaha, St. Louis, or Wichita? They're out of luck.

Best wishes to Jim to get well soon!

Same from me.  Again, I don't hold him responsible.

But all the same, I essentially spent over $100 for an unsigned copy of Cold Days.

Perhaps if I put it and my galley of Turn Coat on eBay, I can recoup my lost wages and gas fees.

Well, after two trips to KC from Wichita, to see Unity Temple and other Jim Butcher fans, but no Jim Butcher, I'm pretty certain I can't make a third.

Several reasons for that, including some mentioned above.  Foremost, it's especially difficult for retail employees to get time off from work during the holiday rush.  Next, Country Club Plaza is bad enough to reach during a typical rush hour, but during the holiday season, only the diabolical would suggest it.  And though RDB's staff was there to advise us on the 29th that the signing wasn't happening, they DID say the 11th would happen, and there was nothing on the website today to indicate otherwise.

At least a dozen other people likewise didn't get the message.

I don't blame Jim Butcher for any of it. Getting well is all I ask of him.

If there's a chance he'll ever make a trip to Wichita or OKC, perhaps I'll get my chance for an autograph.

But, as long as Rainy Day Books is involved, there's not a snowball's chance in July Texas heat that I will.
