Maybe I'll be able to catch the Jiminator this time around. Glad it's Beaverton Powells, much more room to park  |

Awesome, I missed Jim last year and my insides died a little (I think it might have been a chunk of the spleen).

Finally, Jim's coming to a place that I can get to within 2 hours. I'm so going if only to make my birthday 8 days later that much happier.

Nice to know he's gonna be here. It'd be nice to meet the man who just happens to be my favorite author.

Is there a limit on how many books we can get signed? I don't mean like, buy a couple dozen copies and get them signed, I mean like, bring some of my older Dresden books, and Codex books, and get them signed.

It was still awesome, anyway!  Just be happy it wasn't at City of Books in Portland. |

Did you guys see that one girl who had him sign her arm? I think I heard her say something about a tattoo. But ya, I got there at like 5 and half of the chairs were already full. It was insane.

Somebody's posted a montage pic and a commentary: http://www.flickr.com/photos/52501219@N00/4505395165/I especially liked the quotes: One of the titles Jim wanted for the first Dresden book (Storm Front): Abracadaver
"We haven't really run into anything that can kill Mister at this point" (Dresden's large-and-in-charge house cat)
He was thinking of ending the series "with a 3 book apocolyptic capstone... *duh dunduh*... with music by John Williams"
Responding to whether he hates Dresden, considering how hard he treats the poor guy: "I want him to succeed, and to do that he must have great pain"
"I don't have writer's block, I have a mortgage"
"The iPad typing thing doesn't work that well for lots of dialog"
Editor: "I want you expand these four subplots, and make it 50 pages shorter" Jim: "so you want the book bigger, but smaller?" Editor: "yes, and please hurry"
About writing parts of Changes: "Boom, boom... I felt like the special effects guy from Tropic Thunder" |

Listening now. This is great! Thanks so much, Hagbard Celine!
BWAHA, he finally read "Mistborn"! My poking campaign worked!
I went to a Brandon Sanderson signing back in November. Brandon had just devoured and loved the first two Dresden books, so I asked him to sign a copy of "Mistborn" for Jim. Brandon thought it was hilarious. Glad to hear Jim enjoyed it!

Ah, gee, I was wondering why that image was getting so many views suddenly, thanks Hagbard Celine: Excellent video! I'll have to watch it later and maybe I can revise my quote list... makes me feel almost silly for trying to short-hand a bunch while listening from the back  Big crowd last night, people in the back were starting to get a bit grumpy as we tried to work out the shift forward method of making a "line". If it seemed I contributed to that at all, I apologize, I was dead tired and kind of a zombie, so probably not in my most polite mood. Wish I could have had the brain power to actually have an exchange with Jim, he seems like a great guy. I almost didn't make it cause I was on the verge of falling asleep at home, but I'm glad I did. |
