Hate to be a me too type of guy but I second all that was just said regarding the book signing. It was my first time seeing either author so I was a bit surprised at just how smartly dressed Bill was and how passionate he was in his readings. Great to hear the little pieces of background along with the readings, it will go a long way to fleshing out the story as I read it. I certainly hope they make it through the third book without the foregone conclusion of one of them dying. It would make for great literature but would be a shame. Nice to put a face with Gimpo as I don't recall seeing any pictures or such in the past. Sorry to be so anti-social and not introduce myself to any other list members at the reading but I'm really not good socially. I was the blonde guy in the aeon flux t-shirt for anyone keeping score. Very pleased to get my copy of 1987 signed. Absolutely gobsmacked is probably more accurate. Oh and the t-shirt for sale were undeniably cool. Anyone catch how many they made? I was told that they just printed up a few at the last minute to bring along, looked like around 25 or so. Cheers, Lysergic
