Oooh, ooh, pick me! Nessa raises her hand

Just an update - we have now reserved over 100 copies of Mistborn.  Not too shabby!

When I get the money to justify a hardback, i'll probably do the same as last time - paypal money to sprig. Maybe i'll ask EUOL to do a little doodle of cthulhu in the inside cover? Sod numbers, mind-shattering illustrations are true collectors items.
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

Nessa, if you were going to the signing anyway, I'd be thrilled if you wanted to steward my two copies! Jena gamely agreed to do it, but it would be great to have you handle it since you plan to be there. I could send you the money (check, paypal, whatever suits you). Diamante's already reserved my copies.

I most certainly can do that for you. Shoot me an email and we'll arrange something.

Finally put the cover up.  42's design works quite well with the colors in it too so it goes with the site better then the elantris cover me thinks.

I really need to template EUOL's site, it would make superficial changes like this much easier.

Speaking of Brandon's site, he really should update his bio page.

Depending on if I can get transportation, I'll try to show up early and nab myself a copy—'stoo bad I didn't reserve one.  Oh well.

Sounds like there'll be quite a crowd there!

[edit:  Unicode support!  Yay!]

Par-tay! Hope the signing party rocked. I was surprised when Walden Books actually called me. The girl went on for about two minutes, rapidly describing all the fun to be had--games, prizes, the whole shebang--before I could get a word in edgewise and inform her I was in Boston. heh. (Thanks again, Nessa, for being my stand-in!) Sorry I had to miss out on it. :(

Actually, I'm wondering if somebody thought to take some photos they can post for the rest of us. That'd be awesome.  :D

So, how'd it go? I had quite a lunch myself, with Holly Black and Cecil Castellucci, two really awesome YA writers. It was nice to get away from the retail end of things.

There was a really, really long line.
