Depart for US

Anyone interested in trooping for the time he is here in Adelaide, I know its not a long time but it will be a chance to meet a SW/Sci-fi author and possibly get his autograph and ask a few questions.

 

Ooh! <drags out her Jedi Academy books,> I wonder if he'd be nice enough to sign them for me? If not I'd still love to come, (being the book nut I am.)

 

We have a couple of Dunes and an SW trilogy he wrote.

Sounds like a bit of fun. Jen's keen.

 

Just spoke to the lady organinising this today, she is more than happy to have costumed people come along He will be here for around a hour or so talking and doing book signings.

I have tentatively booked four spots so if i can get a list of people that can make it that would be cool, i will need to know a week beforehand how many can go and will let her know as the venue is booking fast. More than four is ok as well she said but being a week night i dont know how many can make it.

List:

TK1571
Evil_rex

 

I think I have to work most Thursdays, but I'll check with MS and see if we can make it.

 

I can't make it, unfortunately ... working at that time.

 

List:

TK1571
Evil_rex

I'm sure anyone who want's anything signed can pass it on to one of us.

 

Addie, you MUST go!!!! He's the man who created KYP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

List:

TK1571
Evil_rex
Aiel grin
Quinten

 

I just checked with MS, and consider what time he finishes work, we won't be able to be there and be ready in time

 

cool, we may have about 6 people coming along so will let her know as the date gets closer...

 

cool, looks like we may be getting around 8-10 people for this.

working on a gift for Kevin so he can remember us

 

i should be ok for now... will let you know on the day.

Thanks for the offer...
