I’m hoping that Hawk will report on the wonderful time The Usual Gang of Lunatics had last Saturday in Palo Alto, CA and thereabouts, starting with RJ’s signing at Future Fantasy bookstore. So, I’ll leave that to her.
There’s rather less to report about Sunday’s signing at the Barnes and Noble barn (er, store) in San Jose: I foolishly hadn’t checked for scheduling updates, and found out at 2pm that it’d been shifted to 3:30—but there were already about 100 people in line, zig-zagging around the store’s rope barriers from the signing area in Children’s Books. By 3:30, there were maybe 600, lined up out the front door and down the block.
As usual, there was a two-book limit, one of which needed to be Path of Daggers . No personal inscriptions this time, just signature, and paperbacks were allowed (both in contrast to the Saturday signing). Harriet (Jordan’s wife & editor, and a very winning person) wandered off to other parts of the store.
I’d missed most of Jordan’s comments during the signing at Future Fantasy: arrived late for early remarks, too long in line for others. This time, I parked myself strategically within earshot, so I could catch everything in my Palm Pilot.
Guess what? 600 people over a two-hour period, and hardly anyone asked Jordan questions! Arrgh.
