Under four hours away from my campus~ Score! Anyone else thinking of making it to this one?
Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean there isn't an invisible demon about to eat your face.

I'm thinking about it.  Gotta make sure I'll be able to sneak away from work in enough time to make it from Louisville.

Yeah. I'm going to have to sneak away from my math class. Thankfully, though, I'm friends with the professor, so it shouldn't hurt any. (Besides, going to see Jim is way better than math! I'm not sure I could sit in class knowing where I could be.)

I think I'll be there, along with a few other women from work.

However, we are probably taking off work to go to Chicago the week prior, so a weeknight may not work...  hmmmmm....

I live in Lexington and only work until 6 PM, so I should definitely be able to make it.

Beckett: But doesn't it bother you that they're so obviously not real?
Castle: (Pauses) Santa's not real. We still love opening his presents.

6 hour drive for me, but I am going!   :D  How many books can I get signed?  I don't mean the same book, but the others in the series.
If I let everyone I thought was an idiot die, there wouldn't be many people left.

No. Not even in the face of Armageddon. Never compromise.

I'm considering the long drive from Florida. 

I'd also like to know Jim's signing guidelines and any other information we would need to know.  (I work for a different book company, and I know we have our own guidelines for booksignings as well as following the authors).

A couple of friends and myself are going to make the 8-9 hour drive from North Carolina, we've all decided.

And then, a cup of coffee afterwords. =D

I used to live in Richmond and am contemplating making the drive out since I'm very familiar with the area and the venue.  It'll be closer to the event until I decide, though.

I think I'll bring all my hardbacks and some of the comics to get signed.  I'm suffering from new book withdrawal. :'(

Hey Caelana,
I have to get there by noon to check in for my hotel.  Is there anything to do for the 7 hours I have to kill before the signing starts?

If you are a fan of thoroughbred horses a lot of the farms offer tours and you can pet the million dollar horses.  Keeneland is a neat place to tour; it's beautiful.

If you like drinking, a local bar just put beer on tap at the tables and charge by the ounce.   It's all the rage at the moment.   There's also a local brewery, but I haven't been there yet. :)  And of course all the distilleries in the area.  KY loves its bourbon!  Woodford Reserve, Wild Turkey, 4 Roses, and Buffalo Trace are nearby.

If you like scenic stuff, there are many roads and trails and beautiful scenery.  There are some civil war forts, historic houses, a shaker village, and some nice parks.   

There are lots of shops and malls and stuff on Nicholasville Road, where the book signing is. 

There is an aviation museum, a horse museum, and a couple of hands on science museums. 

If you want any more details about something specific I mentioned, feel free to ask :) 

We could all nerd out and hang out at the Rusty Scabbard and play some D&D  :D
