Here's all the pics I took at the signing yesterday, for those interested. (http://s170.photobucket.com/albums/u266/eerongal/Brandon%20Sanderson%20STL%20WoK%20Signing/)
I'll be posting up 1st part of the Q&A later tonight, as soon as I can split the video (i uploaded to youtube last night, but its apparently too long, so i have to split it after work tonight)
Unfortunately, i didnt get the second part of the Q&A on film, my battery ran out just as it started. Which kinda sucks, too, considering i thought all the best questions came out in that one.
Disclaimer: Pics may contain 'rongal and his girlfriend. Viewer discretion is advised.
Edit:
Videos are now live of the first Q&A

Cool pics. I'm jealous since there isn't a Vegas signing again this year. :(

Hey! You were behind me in line at the happy sugar vending area! You were with the girl with the cute hair and glasses! Wish I'd known it was you guys, I don't get to meet too many other fantasy geeks in real life. It's like they're all undercover or something :P
The Q & A was lovely! Glad you got some of it. Some of us were 'tards and didn't bring our vid cams. Brandon was awesome, so down to earth and polite. Lots of good questions answered! But dang that RAFOing... then again, what he does and does not RAFO gives a little bit of an answer. At least you know it's going to be important so you're in the right ballpark :)

Yup, I was the guy with her, she's my girlfriend. I'm the dude in the blue shirt. (http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u266/eerongal/Brandon%20Sanderson%20STL%20WoK%20Signing/2010-09-01185905.jpg)
Also: the person behind you in line, eh? Were you the person i was speaking with briefly concerning root beer and madness? :P
Edit: that's an awesome title for something. "Root beer and madness", starring Keanu reeves as the stoner, carrot top as that annoying guy, and guest starring jean claude van damme

Thanks for the pics. :)
So what's with the box of Macaroni and Cheese at the signing table? :D

Oh, that's just Miyabi. Brandon brings him with on book tours.

Um, are you being serious?
If you are being serious, I didn't see him bring the box at TGS signing. Although I might have missed it.
-

Yes. Signings are serious business.

No, no. You misunderstood. Miyabi is Brandon's pet box of macaroni and cheese. All of the forum posts we see? They're probably Brandon going incognito. How else would he know so much about the books before anyone else?
-

I support this theory. With every fiber of my being.
-
Yeah, I've noticed that you never see Miyabi and EUOL post at the same time. Coincidence? I think not.
-
Some day, Brandon will be really hungry, and we'll never see Miyabi again. T_T

Wonder what sort of metallurgical abilities he would provide. An increase in font color perhaps.

No, that is what I was assuming you meant, it was some sort of 'pet' box, good luck charm, etc. But I am just saying I did not see him bring it along with him at the TGS signing he had in my area. But, as I said, I guess I could have missed it. Will look for it at his Chicago signing this next Thursday.

Sometimes he doesn't take him out of his bag if he's in a hurry, but if you ask him if you can see Miyabi, I'm sure he'll pull him out for you.

Maybe that's what turned part of my signature red. I eat an awful lot of mac'n'cheese. Some of it was probably related to Miyabi.

I like how you slipped the reference to their mascot into the sacred writing from America's moneys there.

This message has been approved by Miyabi. /cheesy grin.

Okay, enough with the cheesy jokes... :P
I watched the videos, and Brandon mentioned that chronologically, tWoK comes after Dragonsteel and White Sands. I've always been a big stickler for reading things in order, so for some reason I find this mildly distressing. :D
So, where does Mistborn, Elantris, and Warbreaker fit into all of this? 25 years later, are we going to have this huge gigantic mind bendingly awesome book that combines all the series into a gigantic climax? Mistborn is probably a good deal earlier, since we're going to have the two other Mistborn trilogies, with the one involving space travel, that will probably have stories from two different worlds blending together...
-
Watched the videos and I think it's pretty cool that Brandon was willing to take the Q&A outside. A lot of authors would just take off. How long did he talk for outside? Although I think it's pretty funny that the store was trying to kick him out. You'd figure they would extend the hours a bit due to him coming to sign.
Also, did anyone offer to take Brandon for something to eat? lol

He talked for maybe another 15 minutes or so outside.
I would have offered to take him to dinner, however, he had plans to challenge people to magic cards after the signing for the code to the great hunt, so i assumed that made it a "no" so i didnt bother asking.
-
To challenge people at the signing? Maybe will have to bring a couple of my decks to my signing. :)

Actually, they didn't play at the signing. They went back to his hotel room, and played him there.
-
Well yeah, I figured it was off site as you were relegated to being outside at that point. But was he talking about challenging people who were at the signing? Or was it not clear?

Yeah, it was people at the signing. He wanted three people to play against (i assume had three prizes. He said he had the code and "some prizes from wizards"). Only two people brought cards, but there was also a guy who lived in the area and went to grab his.
-
Well, definitely will have to bring a couple decks along, then!
Thanks! :)

No prob. Yeah, it made me wish i brought my deck. Going home and heading back for me would have taken about an hour or so, so that wasn't an option. The idea didn't even occur to me.
-
Yeah, wouldn't have occurred to me, either, until I saw it here. I'm only about 20 minutes, tops, from the signing. But that's still 40 minutes (there and back). Still too far.
Haven't played Magic in at least a couple years. And the most recent cards in my decks are from sets around 7-8 yrs old. I think the most recent card sets I have is Scourge or Onlsaught. lol If I play him, he'll kill me. But I'll have fun dying. :)

You were with the girl with the cute hair and glasses!

Yep, that's her! And also that was me. Talking to my Root Beer like a crazy person... you're lucky I wasn't serenading it :D
Um, Jean Claude Van Damme??? *shudder* That dude creeps me out! "Root Beer and Madness" Friday night at Verizon Wireless Amphitheater. Would be a crazy band name ;)
