Hey! I figured out how to quote!

This is actually a good idea, if I had the extra $27.95. BUT, that's actually not a dinner out, it's more like a month's lunches at work, or a 1/3rd a tank of gas to get to work, to make the money to buy the book, etc........  :'( So, somebody will just have to video the Q&A at one of the signings (or all of them....) and I will live vicariously through you lucky people!

Maybe you can hook up with another Dresden fan on the boards who bought a ticket, but isn't bringing a guest?

I'll be coming to KC for this, haven't finalized my schedule yet, but I imagine I'll fly in Saturday or Sunday.  Pretty sure Kellee will be coming with me.

Don't think I'm going to be able to make it. Can't afford the time off work.

Mystic!  You have to come!! I'm gonna be there!!!

Or, if you can't come, you have to find some time that week we can have lunch or something... I don't get in until Tues evening, then I leave early Friday.  No definite plans yet, except for the signing itself.

Well I finally purchased my book and 2 tickets.  I'll be bringing my wife.  I've missed the last three book releases/signing.  I'll be there this time ... argh!!

Anyone know about how long these usually last.  It doesn't matter, I'll be there the whole time, but I'd like to set expectations with my wife and kids.

At times I wish I had a clone, but then I realize, I could never live with that a-hole.

I don't think I've spent less than 3 hours at any of the signings I've been to... and I think in some cases it's been closer to 5.

A lot depends on how early you plan on getting there and where you are in the signing line.  Especially with a venue this big, if you're near the end of the line for signing, count on hanging around for a few hours.

So glad I am making it to this one.  Last year was fabulous.  I was worried with my job change i wouldn't be able to get the time off, but luckily the boss is awesome!  Looking forward to seeing everyone.

Hope that everyone tonight at the Kansas City signing has an absolutely great time and that you can successfully coax Jim into a long, juicy, interactive Q&A, and that someone can get it posted (onto YouTube or whichever media) as soon as you can. And the same good wishes to each of you who will be attending the signings in other cities as well, of course.

Those of us who couldn't work out clearing a path to make it to a signing this year are green with envy (well, green me, anyway!).

Enjoy, enjoy! And please, please express to Jim, make sure that he understands, that both the quality of his authorcraft as well as his goodnatured willingness to stay accessible to his fans really is noted and appreciated by us readers.
It can be hard, even for a superbly successful author, not to react to the occasional sharp-tongued critic or to some person who lobs inappropriate criticisms or stereotypes toward the writer or a piece of work. An approving mob of ten thousand readers who stay silent may be less clearly felt than just one or two vocal complainants.

I'm already planning a Cold Days signing trip for next year. Missing this year's is almost too much to stand. I don't think I could stand it again next year.

"And if the child was no warlock, she would have lowered the shield by now."
"No! I'm not dropping the shield until Harry says it's okay." She paused. "Uh, besides. I'm not sure how."

so, sitting here in my hotel room typing from my laptop... didn't get any footage, but AMAZING Q&A--jim was easily one of the nicest people PERIOD--minor celebrity or not. just absolutely personable, easy to talk to...

thank you for doing this, mr. butcher!
