Inkwell: Authors and Artists

    
Right, just a quick drop in to post that Continuum was a blast for all
the Thingie types that went. Miss Tree wrote up a full report at:
http://www.ladymisstree.com/ that pretty much covers everything.

And if you think his schedule for the fall looks bad now - I'll be
catching him at the end of it. I expect an author-shaped pile of goo,
not a Neil. I mean, I love seeing the guy, but I think this touring
needs to stop soon. You know?

I have such envy.  :)

Sounds as though even Neil wasn't expecting three weeks without a day
off, either.  Whoopsie.

Mousie and everyone following are going to have to take awfully good
care of him, I guess.

-Christy, on her 18th straight day at the office, who will probably
have to work this weekend as well
  

    
You know, in real life I'm not generally known as "talkative."  You
guys make me look like I never shut up!  XD

Reading the newer article from The Age.  Holy crow -- I had no idea
there were 3,000 people at ONE signing!  When he mentioned 3,000
people, I thought he was referring to one of the days with more than
one event in them.

And before this tour, I thought the most he got at once was around
500.

Dang... even if our plan works out, I'll wonder if we're doing
_enough_ for him.

...just in case any of you are in the San Diego or Las Vegas areas.
  

    
Is anyone here planning to be at the Austin signing on September 26th?

I was going to ask you if you'd heard from her.  I gave her your
e-mail address, but maybe she doesn't check her e-mail too often.  I'll
give her a call or contact her husband and see if it's OK to give you
her phone number(s).

How is the gift thing going?
Oh, and I found out what the book was - Strange Wine. Yep, another
Harlan Ellison. You have to tell me Rocky's story. I think she started
to at the FG, but never got around to finishing it.

I had been translating the blog for a while now - sometimes only once
a week - for the guys at the comic shop (the ones who asked me to try
and not wash my hand if I shook hands with Mr. Gaiman) and sending it
by e-mail. I didn't want to post it because, well, I didn't have
permission. So it's up on LJ. 

I can't believe that until a while ago I thought he only wrote cool
books for children. I know... I know... Better late than never.

Come up to NY and you'll probably see her.

Fred the Cat is cute.  He looks like an older, possibly fatter version
of my mom's cat.
  

    
C'mon Dan, sing with me: 
Start spreading the news...

I'll be in New York from the start of September (G'd willing since my
last trip went kaput) and New York is more often than not, fun.

BTW - Neil Gaiman is revered here in Brazil (it goes under revered
when people ask to touch the hand that touched his hand) as the author
of Sandman and books like American Gods, Good Omens, Stardust... I'm
the only doofus who had to find him while reading the young'un her
favourite bedtime story (again, mamma: It's all over!).

And yes, the translated blog is up on LJ. I wrote Mr. Gaiman a short
note with the link. It's neilgaiman_pot if you want to check it out -
though it *is* all in Portuguese.

ANOTHER one??  Congrats, Dan and family!  (And good luck with the
dental stuff.  Ergh.)
  

    
Sigh. I guess nobody is going to see Neil in Austin. Um. Ohboy! That
means I'll be all alone. Hah! Wouldn't that be the day.
  

    
You'll need to get some Austin fans onto the Well!
  

    
(BTW, Dan, I sent you an e-mail at your Well address yesterday. 
Hopefully, someone else also has.)
  

    
By the way, I'm not going to tell any of you about <miss-mousey>'s
Endless skirts being sold for the CBLDF because I know several of the
people that are currently winning the bids.
