EUOL Sightings

[stacer]

You shouldn't put me in a bookstore. It is like putting an alcoholic in a liquor store. Sometimes, though, libraries are even worse--that is like putting an alcoholic in a liquor store and then telling them it's all free and to go at it.  

I KNOW! It's pretty sad to see me walk out of the library. You know I'm probably not going to read all 20 of those books, and I'll probably not return any of them on time. Well, I did a good job of it when I had to read them for my program--sometimes I had a good 80-90 books checked out at once, standing in stacks on my bedroom floor. I don't like to spend a lot of time at the library reading to know if it's the book I want to take home, so I just take them all home and go through them there. When you're working on a large paper, you'll probably use most of them.

I read a lot more when I had three hours or so a day at work to read and get paid for it.

I didn't want to start a whole "Hey EUOL thread," but I wanted to be sure to get your attention. Hey EUOL, check your email sometime tomorrow (or hey, tonight's good too). I have a timely question for you.

[Firemeboy]

Brandon, you aren't doing any signings the week of the 30th are you?  I'm down in Utah County that weekend...

[EUOL]

30th of July?  I'll be at Media Play in Orem on Saturday, and at the Borders in Midvale on Friday.

[Firemeboy]

I will be in and out of Seagull Book stores, but will try to swing in.

Is it frowned upon to bring your own book to a signing?  Is that bad form?  Will the bouncers politely show me the door, all the whilst punching me in the kidneys?

[The Jade Knight]

Any idea what time the August 16 signing will be?

Why would you bring Chickens to Brandon's signing?

Actually, bringing whatever of the author's books you have already bought elsewhere to that author's signing at some bookstore is perfectly acceptable.

[Firemeboy]

Not my book.   Brandon's book.  The one I got for Father's Day...  The one I bought myself for Father's day.  

[EUOL]

Okay, official times are:

Murray Ut Borders tonight at 7:00

132 E Winchester St
Salt Lake City, UT 84107

[Chimera]

Remember, if any cute fangirls throw themselves at you while I'm not there to defend you, nod politely, sign their books, and send them on their way.

You are already spoken for.  

[Firemeboy]

Well, I'm not a fangirl (the facial hair makes that obvious), and I'm not cute (probably again due to the facial hair) nor did I throw myself at Brandon, but I did meet him today.  You know, I've been on several discussion boards for over five years now, and never met any of them in real life.  Although I haven't been here long, it's nice to have met two TWGers already (Rob and now Brandon).

Anyway, I forgot to bring my book for Brandon to sign, so I just had him sign my chest.

[The Jade Knight]

Any update on the BYU signing?

As it turns out, I wont be there, sadly.  But my brother will, with my book.

[EUOL]

16th (Wednesday) from 11-1.  David Farland/Wolverton will be there too.  

[The Jade Knight]

Wolverton's going to be there, too?  Ack!

I'm really missing out.
