Thanks, Brian! I did put in a request for him to head to the Midwest for you!
I know, right?!
I hope so, Chris! Unfortunately, I didn't get to see Diana Gabaldon. She was one of the three ticketed speakers, and apparently sold out very fast! Plus that pesky work-thing wouldn't allow me to drive down on Thursday night.
Sure! It was called "You Are Released," and was about a flight from LA to Boston that is forced to take a slight detour due to a little "flash" in Guam that registered on the Richter scale. Joe did edit it to 20 minutes, so we didn't get it all, but the story jumps from Business class, to the cockpit, to Coach (he left Coach out of our part), reacting to the news. When it the flash happens, the plane is over North Dakota, where apparently they store some nifty little things just in case we are attacked. It was great - even my boyfriend liked the story.
He was terrific. His line was way longer than any of the other authors, and yet he signed multiple books for many of his fans and took a bunch of pictures. I REALLY wanted that picture, and was so glad he did that!
Thanks all! I apparently had my excited look on my face all day, although it is slightly different from my excited about seeing King look. I imagine it's something like this: I hope I get to see him again!!!
