Merril Update; More Travel

My little netbook seems to have kicked it, so this update is from the iPod and will be brief. In short the Merril talk went well, I think, and the people were lovely and fun to be with. Now I’m totally wiped out, in a good way, and plan to lose consciousness in very short order. In the morning I’ll be off to home and will update again when I get there with more details. But for the moment: Thanks, Toronto. I had tons of fun.

    Everyone that came out had fun John. It was a blast! You were funny, engaging, and downright entertaining. I brought my friend Gary, who had never heard of you before I suggested he come out, and he was blown away. I know that both of us will be picking up your books in the near future.

    Oh, and thanks for the “preview”. It was very cool.

  2. Your talk was a lot of fun. Weren`t you promising us a song and dance number, though?

    Thanks for the great talk, John! We had a blast!

    Got to hear the first two chapters of SUPER SEKRET PROJEKT: check.

    Amusing blatherations: check.

    Got one of my books signed: check.

    Turned into a ninny, choked up and didn’t know what to say when I got my book signed: check. I swear I could walk by Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie without batting an eyelash, but put an author in front of me and I’m useless. I hope that speaks well of me.

    All in all, very good. Thank you sir.

    Totally worth the drive from Kitchener. Although had I known you were driving through I’d have gotten out my wolf pack and flagged you down.

    I enjoyed the talk as well. I am glad to hear you enjoyed yourself in Toronto. Nice to get the books signed, as well.

    You are as hawesome in person as I expected. It was nice to meet you.

    Thanks a lot for coming to Toronto. You made my son’s day when you signed his book with the triple underlined “assurances of awesomeness”. Great to meet you!

    Translation for the 1970s: My hand-held computer broke so I created this message for the world-wide computer network using my music player.

    God I love living in the future.

    I’m glad and grateful my very first ‘author in person’ was so enjoyable. Totally worth the drive and traffic.

    What a diverse audience! Maybe it’s time to come out of the SF closet… :-)

    It was fun, but TOR better not delay that book!

    Thanks for driving all that way! I had a ton of fun, and I dragged my dad along with me – I really wasn’t too sure what he would think, but he is now making plans to acquire all of your books. He practically forced me to read DaVinci Code a couple years back and I almost fell out of my chair laughing when you started in on that little diatribe :)
