Well, I went to the Concord signing today. There were about fifty people in line, and it moved very quickly. He was done by 2:45 I’d guess, then started signing 500 stock copies that Tower had lying around.
On my turn, I asked him if he listened to music while he wrote.
He said yes, classical.
I told him Asmodean was my favorite character, and he said “Oh, I would have thought Semirhage.”
Yow! The Creator takes me for an inhumanly cruel guy on first sight—I need to change my image.
He signed my copy of The Fires of Heaven To: Keith E. Casner, Nae’blis, Robert Jordan, so I won’t be taking anymore backtalk from you lesser Chosen out there.
One guy got a picture with him, and RJ said, “As long as it doesn’t involve any full frontal nudity—unless I’m holding the camera.”
Nobody showed up for the alleged Social afterwards. Perhaps some folk have forgoten their new Vows…
That’s all I have. Pretty boring signing, really. Oh, I talked briefly about the Net with him, told him that we get more traffic than the main group.
He asked if I thought Bela was a Darkfriend, I said no, but ta’veren for sure. He explained all these references to the Tower lady sitting with him, but his wife didn’t seem to be about.
