Padraig Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 You were far from the only one. Of course but i'll only have nightmares about me. And it was nice to have a few new people join the crew. From whereever. Keeps things fresh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Doctor Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Hmmm. Sounds pretty intimidating really, yet sort of fun. I'm not sure whether to weep or feel releif over missing boskone. I flew over to the east coast for a bit, but I have to go back to oregon early tommorow, too bad about the pizza that was going to be a bit of fun, maybe I'll come to a Con sometime on the west coast, just take it easy on me when I do eventually get a chance to meet you all, I'm delicate.

You don't need to worry. We're not so bad really. Amongst all the ribaldry there are moments where we just sit around and just converse/vegetate.

Amongst all the ribaldry there are moments where we just sit around and just converse/vegetate. It's not just noobs that get this treatment, so don't let that concern you. The three-fisted Baron of the BWB was written all over with silver paint marker at worldcon, as was Rhelle, (and I think) Dajamieson and Ghost of Nymeria. It's all in good fun, and much like a Nightmare on Elm Street movie....... Don't go to sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ser Scot A Ellison Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 I'm going to chime in with a question. How many books is too many books to get signed by GRRM while attending a Con? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoN Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 The rule at signings is generally 3 at a time, then return to the back of the line if you want more. This of course can be countermanded a bit if you have enough bros willing to stand in line for ya Sounds like a fun time, guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edda van Heefmstra Ruston Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 As many as you can carry, in theory. The rule for actual signings though is that you get 3 (IIRC) done at a time and then go back to the end of the line to wait again. So if there's loads of time you can get 15 books signed, but it'll take you 5 passes through the line. Or bring lots of family and friends to wait with you.

Ser Scot A Ellison Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 GoN, Aoife, I was hoping to get to really meet GRRM in Raleigh. To be honest I'd love to get all my GRRM stuff signed. However, I didn't want to overwhelm the man so I thought I'd only bring my hardbacks and my copy of Dying of the Light (that's my favorite of his books) that means 4 books to have signed. GoN, You coming home for Trinoc? I just hit GRRM up (on his "Not a Blog") to see if he is interested in an August "Barbeque crawl" or just a long trip to Lexington for Lexington Barbeque.

GoN Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Scot, I'd LOOOOOOVE to. But I can't promise anything at the moment. I can promise, I'll do my best to be there. A barbeque crawl in August scares me in ways I cannot full begin to express. I have been spoiled by British summers. Also I'd like a Cheerwine.

Barbecue crawl? If that happens, I may have to make my way to NC for the occasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Scot A Ellison Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 GoN, If you come I'll need your help regarding good NC barbeque locations. Heck, I may need your help anyway. The only "classic" barbeque joint I know in NC is Lexington Barbeque. If GRRM bites it may be research time for me. I could really enjoy this research.

Stego Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Is this in Raleigh? That's not too far from my old base. I wonder if GRRM would enjoy a ride in an attack helicopter. Scott, I usually don't bring more than ten - twelve books for GRRM to sign each con. He has stopped asking me when I'll run out of books for him to sign.

Regina Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 I usually don't bring more than ten - twelve books for GRRM to sign each con. He has stopped asking me when I'll run out of books for him to sign. BTW, can I just say that hanging out with Stego in the Hucksters room and at the auction was awesome. In my noob ignorance of book collecting, I have no idea what anything is worth--thankfully, he was there to offer advice. And as to con times and locations, I was one of those people who was complaining about Boston in February vs. NC in August. Parris' response was great. It was something along the lines of we need the off-season rates because we're bottom feeders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
