Warbreaker :: Release Party :: Extras

[Peter Ahlstrom]

Brandon said he will probably be too busy personalizing people's books to actually read anything. He will be doing readings from Way of Kings at some of the other signings in the next couple weeks.

That was what I meant. I can't go to the release party, but I also won't be in Utah the next couple of weeks. I'm hoping (maybe it's a vain hope...who knows?) that when he tours later in the year--November, December--he might read an excerpt there...maybe...Even if he doesn't, I can still get the personalization, so...yeah.

[Peter Ahlstrom]

The Gathering Storm signings may be too packed to do any readings, and if they're not, I would guess that he'd be more likely to read from The Gathering Storm itself. Of course he will sign any of his books at them though.

[little wilson]

Geez, Ook, you're crushing my dreams.....haha. No. I knew it was a vain hope. I'd heard that the tour at the end of the year was for WoT, but I still kind of...hoped. Even if I knew it would never really happen.

Just got back from the party. Got my book, met Brandon, didn't see anyone else.

Actually, I suppose that's not quite true. I may well have seen you, you may have even commented on my shirt (it says "Mind of a ninja, body of a manatee"), but I don't know what anyone looks like and there were too many people there to go asking everyone, "Are you from Timewaster's Guide?"

Also, I did recognize Ookla, but only because Brandon made him draw the names for the drawing.

I was there too. I was with my sister and her husband, though..

It wasn't nearly as crowded as the HoA release.

Ryos, I saw you there. I thought to myself "I have got to get me one of those shirts." Miyabi, firstRainbowRose and I were chatting by the bestsellers after we got our books personalized. Miyabi was #2 AND he had his Japanese edition of Elantris signed and numbered #1. Pretty awesome!

[ryos]

Link to the shirt. It's even on sale!

[mccullough]

Awesome!...and bummer. How many manatees wear a size small? looks like the other sizes are sold out. Thanks for the link, though. Looks like a cool site.

[firstRainbowRose]

You more then likely saw me.  I was the one in costume.  (I'll post pics as soon as I get them.)

And it's useful to know that was you... even though I don't remember your face.

[Peter Ahlstrom]

ryos, you should have said hi to me after who I was got pointed out.

Zas678 is my cousin-in-law, by the way.

[firstRainbowRose]

This is cool to know.  zas, what did you look like/what were you wearing?

[ryos]

Okay, I did see you. Cool.

You know, Ookla, you're right, I should have. It just looked like you were busy and I didn't want to be a bother. Next time!

Also, I didn't realize the Sheldon store was practically sold out of manatee shirts. D'oh! Check back in a couple weeks, I'm sure they'll have more.

[Miyabi]

I was standing next to fRR in a white and black striped hoodie.

BTW, I got the book thing out of the way before Brandon started all his stuff.  And at that time the only person was Grant (V for Vendetta) so I gave it to him.

(Mi'chelle and I went up and down the line up until shortly before the signing started and there was basically no one from TWG at that point.)

I still have an entire cooler full of soda. ha ha.

EDIT:  Anyone else like that it said "Companion novel to Elantris" on the signs?

[Vatdoro]

Anyone else like that it said "Companion novel to Elantris" on the signs?

Ya, I got a chuckle out of that.

I must have missed you guys. I got there around 7:20 and the crowd was gone. Me and 2 other guys were able to talk with B. Sanderson pretty casually towards the end. He told us some pretty cool stuff about Way of Kings!
