Again, this was not something I had planned on but the
raffle tickets were still available and I picked one up. I actually felt bad as
I had 3 others I couldn’t use. There was another signing for Ender’s Game
(different cast members) at the Legendary Booth that conflicted with Edge of Tomorrow.
George RR Martin, I just blew off as I felt I had a great chance to get him at
WorldCon. Robert Kirkman I really wanted
but I had more conflicts. For Kirkman I know the line would be extremely long
and by the time I got out I would be late for a date with my wife.
The line for Anne Rice was short. Since you could buy/bring
as many books as you wanted it moved slowly. Luckily books were being sold at the table. By
the time I got up to the front the selections were slim. I bought The Wolf Gift
in trade.
Anne was pleasant. She listened as people tried to tell her
how much her books moved them. I just
wanted the book and the signature. I thanked her. I told her I never got to New
Orleans for her Vampire’s Ball. She said
I must go sometime. I said hopefully
soon. I know I would enjoy the people watching.
I left with yet another book in my backpack. I walked to meet my wife at Herd HQ. Saturday
was almost over.
