Early to bed early to rise...
I am actually staying at a casino, but the funny part is, my wife and I don't gamble, so the cheap room is a steal.
Haha, I had no ideaIn the US "pasties" cover your nipples. The Cornish tin miner's wearing pasties provides a rather humorous visual. I have no idea what use the Tommyknockers would have for them.. You'd burn your nips pretty bad wearing the Cornish variety, as hot as molten lava in a pastry case LOL.

The miners used to have meat, potato and vegetable in one end with a pastry divide down the middle and their dessert at the other end. They would throw away the crust because it would stop them getting arsenic and heavy metal poisoning from touching their food with their dirty hands. The pastry was simply a container to store the food in and eat it from. The knockers always got the crust.

Great photos. Thanks for sharing.
Great pictures The Stanley never disappoints, excited for tonight, just got First Edition Cycle of the Werewolf, 1st edition Thinner, centipede Salems Lot & 1st edition later printing(16.95 dust jacket) Salems lot signed, first time meeting the King, very gracious guy
Congrats! Where did you meet him?
Down near pearl street, my mom who went to college with him was with me, so I had here get two signed for me & two myself, didn't want to hand him a stack on my own, but he was very nice no problems signing them with inscriptions & they chatted about UMO & King Garbage truck
Lucky you were with your mom. He is a very nice guy to talk to, if you don't act like a weirdo fan.
He couldn't have been more friendly, talked to him about Maine & north Yarmouth/Pownal area(Cumberland County) where Salems Lot takes place, no other fans were around which helped
Wow. We are at the park now. Have been here for several hours. We arrived at 1:30 PM and a few dozen people were already in line.
Twistednadine and her friend, Explorer and his wife, tippy4 and his sister, George from Colorado springs, my wife and I are all partying in TN's cottage.
Our 3 cottages are less than 200 feet from the venue.
We missed King down on Pearl St. (I presume the Boulder Bookstore).
Gotta go. Party time then Queue up.
Updates soon...
Keep the updates coming! Wish I was there!
Pics!
The beginning of the line ... it goes on forever, and doors don't even open for an hour or so. Luckily beautiful weather, sunny, blue skies, little breeze, maybe 70 degrees. That's Jerome on the right in the red shirt doing some schmoozing.
Oh yeah, we all just met Lot Guy from upthread a little bit ago, he's here too (so not fictional ... we thought somebody might have been playing a prank!)
