I was there! and I flew in from Houston for it. Joseph-Beth was a wonderful bookstore and the event was so much fun.
One funny story, the guy in front of me gets to the table and has the three WOT books that Brandon worked on, when Brandon opens The Gathering Storm , he says “Did you know you had Fires of Heaven in the Gathering Storm cover?” Brandon said he would not sign the book—I’m still not sure if the guy did that on purpose.
The other thing I remember is when Harriet was talking about supporting bookstores like Joseph-Beth, she said “you can’t sit in the middle of Amazon”.
I waited around with newly made friends after the first round of signings so that we could go back for the personalizations from Brandon (we had a very nice dinner together at the bistro there). I told Brandon that I had read and loved Patrick Rothfuss based on his recommendation and asked him for books that he loved to read. He was nice enough to write down a few names.
