April 12: Changes signing in Kansas City, MO

[JoaquinRojo]

Did anybody get pics of that guy who was there in full platemail?

[Aine]

I would also like to thank the awesome people at Borders.  They totally went above and beyond.  What a great time that was!

[Soulless Mystic5523]

Good meeting as many of you as I met tonight.  And sorry for those of you that I didn't meet. 

Also, I feel I owe the city of Lee's Summit my sincere apologies for having to suffer through my singing.  Next time we play Munchkin Cthulhu, let someone win who has a decent singing voice. 

And kudos to Jim, who was still signing books, even though he had to get an ice pack for his signing wrist...and that while the line was still snaking halfway through the bookstore. 

But hey, singing allowed you to win the game, so it was worth it right?

[Knight Disciple]

I'd also like to say it was definitely fun meeting all of you forum peoples. Thanks for making me feel welcome in the group!

I'll leave that for you to decide.  WAS it worth having to listen to me warble? 

If everyone is *really* interested in hearing me sing, you ought to come to one of our shows.  I'm part of our local community theatre...

(*ahem* Actually, I'm ~President~...which is to say that I moved too slowly when the last President sapped me with the blackjack and dragged me into office)

...and we're putting on the musical, "Annie".  I may or may not actually *land* a part in the show (sometimes it's *not* always good to be the King), but if I do, I'll post the info somewhere hereabouts.

I tell you all this so you know how lucky you are.  I *could've* broken into "Tomorrow"...

Aine I still feel horrible about forgetting to hit record on your camcorder.  Knight that was the second time I've ate at an IHOP and can't say I'm too impressed.  All we have is Denny's but you really can't frak up scrambled eggs or fried bacon.

Hm.

I felt fine afterward/today. *Shrugs*

I know there's a Denny's not too far from that IHOP, but I don't recall how late they're open, or if they're open at all. That late on a weeknight, we're strapped for options. 

[Lionheart]

To me the food wasn't really the big thing.  Just fun going out and talking about books with folks.

I feel a little sad we missed one of Jim's official poses and 'browings, but there were plenty of witnesses there who I am sure will testify to the important part.  (For the people who missed it, we were trying to get the fact that you don't have to have sex in order to get Whampire protection all officially on tape and stuff, 'cause you just know someone is gonna argue about it.  )

[BandofHermits]

I'm not sure what the pose, or 'browning was - but there's a chance that I might have captured some of that on the camera?

[Wizard H]

Bah, finally have a chance to post.  Well I must say it was great to meet everyone and if I was a bit of lurker and not much of a conversationalist... Well it's how I am  Had tons of fun playing Munchkin with everyone it's been at least 2  or 3 years since I played last.  I must say I am saddened to have my theory of the temple dog/foo dog distinction killed, however when I had him sign my books he confirmed a tidbit about the Blackstaff.  The Blackstaff functions as a buffer or filter that catches and absorbs/eats the taint of the black magic while powering itself off the soul of the user.  It is, as described in the book, a living thing and practically sentient.  The tendrils advancing into and up the user's arm are more aggressive and hostile rather than pulling out the taint.  Woot.

Well I must say it was great to meat everyone...

So that's why you kept drooling when talking to us. Glad to meet you WizH, it was a fun night.

Huh... Err, I know not of which you speak...  >.>  Lol...

[Soulless Mystic5523]

Also, I stole the answer to the question you ask Jim about the blackstaff and posted it over in another thread where there was alot of blackstaff speculation.

Such a juicy tidbit of info needed to be shared.

[Murphy's Stunt Double]

Glad to see you all made it out alive! Did Jim have a chance to join you at the IHOP, or did he learn his lesson well enough last year??
