    Nice Patrick. I should have my signed US copy soon and hopefully the lettered will show up shortly.
    Confused? Are these books going to JAMMF or Becca??? Because I have a way different address for JAMMF - somewhere is Scotland - I just need to know where I should be shipping some signed books that i might be getting tonight...
    Rebecca and I are super close. You can just send them to her to save on shipping. Plus they never travel back in time too well! I hate bumped corners

    It was a fun evening. Andy was very nice and engaging. The bookstore owners who ran the event were very nice. The whole purchasing ticket thing before hand was a bit odd - we all ended up getting everything signed. Looking back on it I didn't need to buy so many extra tickets - since they never held fast on the one ticket per item signed. But realistically there were only a handful of people with more than 1 book (can you guess who?).

    The talk and q&a started around 6:30 - that lasted little over an hour - and the signing started at about 7:40. There were probably a little over 100 people there. Our group got our books signed early. I got all 5 books I needed to get signed (and purchased tickets for). The line went quickly (no posed photos). So patrick and I went to end of line (only two who went through twice) to get our extra 2 books each signed. They were cool about that. We were done by 8:15 - since by the time I said goodbye to everyone, got to the car and started on the 95 minute ride home - I was home just before 10.

    Oh, and our little group was able to head over to a little Mexican place - had some nice food, beer and margarita's before the event; doors opened at 5:30 and we strolled in about 6:10 after food - and had plenty of seating. And there was a guy in the audience who let us all know that he was friends with buzz aldrin - and sent him an email during the talk - asking if he saw the movie - and got a reply - and let us all know - during the event.

    Now just looking forward to the next local event, hoping it will be for The Fireman release somewhere in the city in the spring.

    Oh, and there were no extras, nothing really from the bookstore or museum even talking or advertising for the event, just talk and signing - and that was plenty.

    Good summary of the evening, Chad. What the heck was Jerome up to?

    Chad had the unique idea of bringing the S/L's, so we both did, and I had the not-so-original idea to have Andy inscribe the book's opening line, so we did that too. I'll post a few book photos tonight too.

    I was drinking a margarita. It was pretty good for being served in a flower pot!

    Long night, but I'm up and have my coffee, so I can relate a bit of yesterdays event.
    The wife and I arrived a few hours early in Los Gatos. Had a chance to check out the venue and visit the bookstore that was sponsoring the event.
    Patrick, Taunya, and Chad around 5pm. We went for a bite to eat at a local Mexican restaurant. Of course Patrick ordered an entire bottle of tequila:




    Two posts up is a picture of Patrick, Chad, and myself.

    Taunya, Patrick, and Chad:



    We arrived at the venue about 20 minutes before the scheduled start time of 6:30 PM. The had a nice temporary setup in a small recently opened museum. As we were waiting for the event to begin, I was in the lobby and took a pic of the lady who owns the bookstore:



    I asked the man in the Tam hat when was Weir going to arrive. He turned around and said "I'm here right now, and will start in one minute". I managed to get a quick picture with him just before he took the stage:



    Weir talked for a bit over 30 minutes then did another 30 minutes of Q&A before signing books.




    Weir was kind enough to sign all the books people brought.
