I both love, and am freaked out by that doll's image.

Thanks for the nightmares, Dez!!

Very cool!!
If you're a fan of June Foray, there are some great stories and remembrances about her on Mark Evanier's blog (https://www.newsfromme.com/), including an amazing obit he wrote and some behind-the-scenes stuff related to her memorial service.
With all the talk of The Weight of Words (which I STILL need), I'm surprised no one is mentioning this one. The Best of Subterranean Press is huge - over 700 pages, and includes pages and pages of signatures, although I bought it for the first signature page. It's a pretty nice production!
Also, I was wandering around Target and FINALLY spotted these two. Couldn't resist now that I finally found them!!
BIG CONGRATS !!!

That is a nice book, Dez and I would have gone for it had it had an original Hill story.
Are you sure the twins didn't find you

Well, I finally got to meet Joe Hill yesterday! He read us a new short story too. Even though I was told it wouldn't work that way (there was a frustrating lack of consistent information), I was able to get 4 personal books (not bought at the festival) signed. As we all know, Joe is rather free with his signing so there aren't that many of his books on my shelf that aren't signed. But I was able to find a few. Below are the PS Publishing paperback copy of 20th Century Ghosts, the Strange Weather US proof, and both of The Fireman UK proofs - plain and yellow-edges pages. I do love my doodles!
And lastly, me geeking out. I even wore my Christmasland t-shirt!
So happy for you, Dez and congrats on scoring some of those "rare" Hill sigs

Wow, nice! Good thing he had his name-tag on so you knew who he was!
I'm sure if there is intelligent life somewhere out there in the universe, they are wise enough to stay away from us.
And the people bowed and prayed, to the cell phone god they made...
Nice picture with Mr. Hill! I met him several years ago at a horror con in Austin, TX. The venue was across the street from my apartment, so I walked there and had him sign the few books I brought. He was really nice and even signed a few bookplates with doodles for the books of his I didn't yet have. Heart-Shaped Box is still one of the more unsettling books I've read in recent memory. Great that you got to meet him and get a few proofs signed.
Very happy for you! Hopefully the first of many meets with him. Julie was wondering if you were able to see/meet Diana Gabaldon?
"Thanks, but no, it isn't a cowboy hat. It's a fedora. And yes, Indianna Jones is still socially relevant."
Cool doodles and pictures! Congratulations !

Good job. Joe is such a nice guy.
Can you tell us a little about the short story he read? I have heard it is very good.
Thanks
Very cool, Dez. Like that inscription. Joe does a vest quite well...
Great stuff, Dez. Glad you finally got to see Joe. He’s a top man.
Joe is great in person isn't he? I'd like to think his dad was as free with his time in his early days.
Did Joe not say "Oh YOU are 'Doodle Dez',?
"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
