I've never been in a Starbucks. I don't drink coffee but I'd go to one to see Showgirl. It'd make my day to be there. Its only 2800 miles and there is a 3 hour time diff. hmmmm

ewe. Starbucks. Don't make me go inside! I haaaaaaaates the Starbucks! I guess it is better than the McDonalds next to it tho lol. Ironically, there is Game Empire in the same place, which is what I think of everytime the comic book shop happens in the books lol Grr. Well, the wife has just texted that we are going...so I guess I'll have to suck it up and enter a Starbucks PICCIES! ;D

No pics. No camera Anyway, other than me forgetting the camera, it was a great time. Vicki is way, way cool (but, you all knew that anyway), and got the official KickAss seal of approval from the wifey too. Got there a little early, and had a chance to chat with her and the other people who showed up before the actual signing thing happened. Got the inside gouge on a few stories, and some innocent gossip too. My Fourth Sign of the Zodiac book is now infamous, having been thrown around the book store a few times, including once by Vicki herself So now I have an infamous, battle hardened, and signed book 4. I can't tell you how cool that is to me. (still a little confused by the person who is waiting to collect all the books first before reading them, tho.... And yes, she is buying them as they come out.) So, it was a pretty damn cool week for me. First Kim H jumping and exclaiming, "Hey, I know this guy" and demanding a picture on the bunny cam, then having my book thrown across the store by Vicki. I lurved it.

I am very happy for you man, even a little envious. I have yet to meet Vickishowgirlgoddessmascotscribblernotthelita. Kim does know me now so all is not lost. Sounds like this was a banner week for you, one for the scrap book.
congrats on your battle hardened book 4.
i can't imagine buying all the books and waiting for them to come out before reading them? That just boarders on the crazy side of life to me.

Thats just 530 miles or so from here. That's doable for me and my route goes through Mobile. I could follow Jeanine the rest of the way. It just a little over 8 hours from here. About how much money do I need to go?

Registration was about $400 last year, I think. I live damn near in the middle of America, so these conferences are always a helluva trip for me, but I'll bite the bullet for New Orleans. My son doesn't need to eat *every* day, right? : )
