I'm not really sure what this means. During the few days of the tour, more copies of that book were sold in Australia than any other single SF book? Well, sure, I can believe that. The same was true when Alan Dean Foster, Michael Stackpole, or [insert you favourite SF writer here] toured.On his book-signing tour of New Zealand and Australia, the sixth book became the #1 best-selling SF novel on the continent.
He's had this problem before you know. I think he called "Arabia" a "continent."Hunchback Jack wrote:Australia and New Zealand aren't on the same "continent", incidentally.

I hate football and I love it. Watching the hardcore Packers fans here getting pissed off about the whole thing has been quite entertaining. Anything to rile Packers fans on this side of the Wisconsin border is worth it.Omphalos wrote:I spent a few weeks in Green Bay in July. Man, back then nobody had anything nice to say about him.

Ok, so I may have to change from my original Saturday to Monday if that is when you are going. I wish I could do both but hotels are too expensive and a 4 hour drive to embarass Keith is not quite worth it either. That being said, I have no laptop but I may be able to borrow one, I will check into this. Do you have said camera? I do not, apparently all I am good for is to show up....Once we figure out what day (If monday works better for you that is fine for me) we can sort out the rest of the details.Freakzilla wrote:Programs are out!

(OK, maybe not for Keith
Dune Nerd has volunteered to do video. I need to confirm this and coordinate with him, I'm hoping he has a laptop, too. It would be nice to be able to refer to notes and FH quickly.
) But I left it rolling and got 16bit audio. I'll get it up as soon as possible. was that they were Face Dancers with a link to the Butlerian Jihad. He basically avoided the question.
