    Merlin.. I honestly don't think you will fit... I'm 5'11 and the roofline is pretty dang close to my head...you'd really have to crunch down a lot.
    How limber are you? (BTW...that question has nothing to do with the Fiero... ha ha)

    I wonder if I offered, if King would like to drive the fiero....hmmmm

    I live in Lubbock. I have never seen a SK signing tour in Texas before. Doesnt seem like there have been many of them. I will most likely go to this. How do we get tickets?

    Didn't he do one in, Dallas for "11/22/63"?? Other than that one I agree, he doesn't seem to get there much. Matter of fact, has he ever done one in the Phoenix area, since I've been here, 2005 forward?

    Yes, for 11/22/63 in Dallas!

    First time I was in New York, the cab driver got irritated (imagine that!) with the gridlock and drove on the sidewalk. I've never had that happen in Austin!

    Love to hear them!! I swear to, God I once got in a cab in D.C. that had a fucking "goat" in it!!! Naturally, I took the next one. The guy was from "Senegal". I swear that morning he was running from a fucking lion in Africa and then later that day driving a cab in D.C.!!! LOL BTW, and you can't make this shit up, he told me the goat' name was, Ari!!! No offense, Ari!! Life is stranger than fiction.

    Edit: I swear to God the above is a true story. The guy said it was a religous thing (from what I could make out. His english wasn't "top notch"). I said "Well, take your faith with you, cause I ain't riding with a fucking goat"!!! LOL

    That's because where everyone sits in traffic is on the highways... where there are no sidewalks.

    I seem to recall on a trip to Austin several years back that there were so many new roads/exits that the older GPS my friend had was about useless.

    "A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King

    yep.... Austin changes on a daily basis - you would be challenged to find a building that doesn't have a crane on top.

    only won't be there if I die before 11/15....
    .....unless Merlin agrees to dig me up, wash me off, and take me anyways.
    Well, since if you die at home the dog will most likely eat you, I will be happy to bring the dog with a "Hannibal Lecter" mask on it. LOL You're bringing the babes and the weed, right? LOL


    BTW, why isn't there a "countdown" for the Austin event? It comes first!!! LOL
    Are you still wanting an Austin countdown clock Bill?

    I'm gonna take a last stab at ebay tomorrow afternoon, but I'm pretty sure the "countdown" is aborted. Unless, Terry is willing to front another "Crisp $100 bill" on my behalf. I'm good for it, Terry!!! It's right here for all the world to see that I made the guaranty!!! LOL


    I was sooooo looking forward to this. Even my wife consoled me and she doesn't give a rats' ass about Stephen King or my collection!!!


    Spoiler:
    She's into "Sue Grafton"!! LOL
