Comments on: BEA in Brief http://whatever.scalzi.com/2008/06/02/bea-in-brief/ I FORGET WHAT EIGHT WAS FOR Thu, 09 Feb 2012 18:07:48 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Leslie http://whatever.scalzi.com/2008/06/02/bea-in-brief/#comment-31078 Thu, 05 Jun 2008 15:49:47 +0000 http://scalzi.com/whatever/?p=827#comment-31078 Hello — I was one of the folks attending the librarian’s dinner. It was the first time in a long time that someone from Ohioana attended BEA and it was a great pleasure to sit at my table and say, “See that John Scalzi guy? He’s from OHIO! Isn’t that cool???”

I can’t wait for my big, big boxes to come home from LA, because Zoe’s Tale is in there.

Best,
Leslie

It would have been extremely awesome to get a picture of you signing your own book for you, but you were in line behind me so I missed that happening. I hope you didn’t run out of books by the time you got there.

I just wish I’d had the presence of mind to extract a signed copy of Zoe’s Tale, but in truth, I was a little overwhelmed with all the book signing and smiling I was having to do that I wasn’t thinking all that clearly.

Dancing with them whut brung ya, and all.

So great to see you!

(Or at least, not necessarily the known ones.)

The ARCs have known bugs — those get ironed out before final publication. So no worries.

AntonGarou:

The free books are generally at the show floor, not the hotels. And since BEA membership is actually relatively expensive, in the end “free” is a relative term (unless you have someone else pay for you to go to BEA).

PS.Are the free books only in the main hotel?Inquiring minds want to know…

(I hadn’t read it before; almost done now and enjoying it thoroughly. Noticed a few tight lines and typos, plus a pretty glaring sentence revision error in your new intro. I don’t suppose you want page numbers for any of that?) Should have got you to sign it, but after being so tongue-tied talking to Patrick, it completely slipped my mind.

It was only after I got back home that I remembered the .hack shirt Krissy was wearing during the Campbell-cheese-cutting-board photos and realized perhaps you might have enjoyed one of the .hack//XXXX copies I was lugging around to give out. Alas. Perhaps next time, in Denver?

Rest up ;-). These trips take a lot out of one.
