2008 Tour and Convention Appearances!

[Priscellie]

*snerks*  If Jim actually eats all the food we're trying to push on him, his belly will be so full he won't be able to reach the keyboard.

[Shecky]

The man does need a little meat on him.

But he can put it away - did you not see him absolutely house that burger at the PhauxCon dinner (when we let him not talk for a minute, that is)?

[EvilAimes]

Of COURSE Jim is going to be in Houston three days before I am, and only there for ONE day.

I can't get them to move the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer to the previous weekend, so I can fly in earlier from Boston...

I'm just going to sit over here and pout ALOT.

[meg_evonne]

but best wishes on the AVON WALK for breast cancer. 

You know if you call the store where the signing is going on, I bet they'd get you a signed copy and hold it for you to pick up when you do get in. 

[Stars and Stones]

If he does that one like he does most others, he'll be there for all 3 days.  Of course, any and all of that could change at a moment's notice and 'things' happen.

Dreamland BBQ (I went to the one in Norcross, GA) has some of the best BBQ ever!  But, I was raised on that good NC bbq - based w/ the vinegar!

Thanks Highlander! I think my lil sis is going to get a surprise visit that happens to coincide with those 3 days

[Vegetaman]

Man, I'd really like to be able to make it to the St. Louis or Chicago booksignings. I live between both of them.

[Psychomancer]

Perhaps I'm overstepping the bounds of this thread, but what's MileHiCon like?  It's the only place Jim will be this year that I even have a hope of reaching (I live in Salt Lake City, UT.)  I mean, I've met authors I like before, and I have no illusions that Jim and I will become bestest, bestest buddies when we meet.  So what the rest of the show like?  My friends all like to go to Nan Desu Kan in Denver, and I tagged along one year- it seemed like a cool city.  But my con experiences in the past have been less than stellar.  What makes this one good? 

[Stitch]

Mickey, are there any plans for a get together in Houston like we did last year?

Totally agree with the requests for Jim to venture further out into the world!!!!!
My hubby suggests that as him and cars don't seem to mix  all that well, why doesn't he catch the train to New York and then the QEII boat to the UK??? This way he'd get a couple of days peace and quiet to do some more writing  :LOL:

And if the UK ain't a possibility (which is a shame, I know!!!) then any chance that he'll be at San Diego ComicCon this year??? Only cos some friends of mine are going and they could grab us an autorgraph, of course!!!

If not, then a girl can dream.

Huge hugs to all of ya,

Hel

I wish Jim would come to Dallas. Houston is nearly 5 hours away. Texas is a really big state. Jim went to Houston last tour. Please spread the tour cities around. Like Bob said about Dallas, they have some world class Men's Clubs. They also have great Steaks, Tex-Mex, and BBQ.
