I know right! My only thing is that it isn't dated, that would have been nice. But I'll take what I can get.

Thanks!

I was there tonight too. Had a lot of fun. Joe is such a nice guy. He signed all the books I brought with me. And in 20th Century Ghosts he drew a little boy being swept up into the air by a balloon :) I didn't even think to have him date them though, oh well.

And the poor guy hasn't had much luck with the weather for this tour. But I guess that's to be expected in feb in New England. We've got a snow storm coming through at the moment. I think that kept a bunch of people away because it was a nice small crowd.

I also had a good time, nice small crowd and was still able to be home by 9:30 considering we had a 80 mile drive up there. Joe signed all 8 books that I either bought there or brought with me and did doodles in each one of them. Much more pleased than I would have been had I drove to the signing tomorrow night.

Hopefully the snow stays away for Pittsburgh on Monday as I'm going up there. If anyone else is going to Pitt shoot me a PM, I'll try to say Hi!

Since it's pretty certain we won't get up to Portland, I ordered a couple of signed copies from Powells. Plus, I have the PS Edition coming as well. I can't wait!!!! :drool:

I attended Joe's reading and signing in New Canaan CT last night. He is a VERY engaging speaker and wonderful with the audience. It was such a great time. He read a passeage from Horns for 15 minutes, took questions for another 15 minutes (I got to ask one and received light up horns), got my picture taken on stage with Joe and others and them got several books signed.

He was super friendly and it was just a wonderful intimate experience.

I thought if you would attend one of the signing's, you would have went to Odyssey Tuesday night.

New Canaan is very close...15 minutes away from my home.

As for Callahan with horns, I will post the pic. It is terrible quality. Joe needs a new marketing person.

Picture of me and Joe and other "Horns" people in New Canaan Library. Uhm, that is me on the far left next to Joe.
