Here we are, in the book signing at Sam Weller's bookstore.

How was that signing?

I enjoyed it, but it was much, much smaller than the Provo one. (There were only like a dozen or two people.) It was kind of amusing, the difference in sizes, as I was one of two people who got their books signed at Sam Weller's and I was number 528 to get a numbered book.

I arrived during Brandon's reading, stayed for some Q&A, and then we went up for the signing. I really liked the closer atmosphere at this one, it gave us all a chance to speak our minds.

Is that number before or after Brandon signed all the preorders through Sam Weller's?

It's great to see pictures of you guys :) I hope we get to see many more, and I find the difference in signing sizes to be encouraging for me. I have a bit of a problem with huge crowds, but I will deal with it for this, if I have to.  Totally worth it, in my opinion. :D

Man, I feel like I am on the other side of the world.  Oh well, I'll just have to get a whole bunch of people to start reading Brandon's books so that Tor will schedule a signing in New England for his next series.

From the Provo-BYU Bookstore signing. (I'm about 6:20 into it :) )

I was a little flustered and blathered. Hehe.

Does anyone have any pics of me that they'd be willing to send me?  I'm wanting to show my grandma my costume (she's a big fan of the series), but because my phone/camera was really close to dead I couldn't get any of my own.  I know that one of EUOL's friends took some pics, but I don't know who to talk to in order to get them.  So if anyone could pm me saying they have one, I'd really appricate it.  (Or even just post it here, and I can save it to my comp from there.)

I had some interesting and enlightening discussions about Mistborn and reading in general with both Qarlin and Nessa as we waited in line for almost 3 hours.  I had no idea this signing would be so popular!  But it was totally worth it, and I'm glad there are people out there who are just as nerdy as me when it comes to Mistborn.  Also, note my awesome shirt, if you can read it.

That shirt is so sweet. Can you get them from his web-site?

I would so get that t-shirt, especially if it said "The Hero of Ages: Book Three of Mistborn" on the back. That's awesome.

And that image was at the release party, yes?

That IS a really cool t-shirt! It looks like you made it yourself.

I think a super amazing shirt would be one that had the table of Allomantic metals on the back...

@ GreenMonsta -- No, you can't get them from his website.  I made it using my meager Photoshop skills.  It's just an iron-on.  I'll have to take a picture and show the back too, because it says "Mistborn" on the back just like it appears on the cover of book 1.

@ Chaos -- Yeah, that's from the release party.  That's the advantage of going to college where Brandon went to college--he's around all the time. :)

@ Pygmalion -- Yeah, I did.  It was fun.  And an Allomantic table shirt would be wicked-cool.

The other idea I had for the shirt was to put, "Do you always read at balls?" on the front, then on the back have a picture of me in a prom dress w/ the Mistborn books and "Whenever I can get away with it."  That will forever be one of my favorites quotes from the series.
