Neil provides more signing info

Well, the signing starts at 3.00pm. I'll probably start by reading WOLVES, and answer questions, which'll take about 20-40 minutes, mostly depending on how many people are waiting and can't hear, and how tightly people are packed and stuff, and then I'll start signing.

The best advice for anyone trying to pre-plan is to talk to the store and find out how they intend to do it (there is no guarantee you will reach someone who can answer that question corractly at any given store). There is normally someone there for the signing when the store opens in the morning, but most people won't start drifting in until 1:00 or 2:00ish. Some stores hand out "numbers" for people, as with a deli line (often old Far Side calendars are used for this -- "Will December get into line now?"), some don't.


The signing is at Borders Books, on August the 8th (Friday) starting at 3.00pm:
100 Broadway (at Wall St.)
New York, NY 10006
212.964.1988

The store is located across the street from Trinity Church, and is accessible by the following subways:

1 (Fulton St.), 2,3 (Wall St.), 4,5 (Wall St.), N,R (Rector St.), J,M,Z, (Fulton St.), A,C,E (Fulton St).


And the sun sets in New York at 8.04pm on August the 8th. If you're there at midday you'll definitely be in the first wave of people and out by 5.00pm (and bear in mind it's a weekday, so lots of people who would want to be there will be working, or planning on swinging by when they get off work to see if I'm still scribbling away. And I'm sure I will be).

Sad as it makes me, I must take out my silly little hair wrap today. Some of the beads have fallen off and hair is leaking out in numerous locations. So today it comes out. *sniffle*

At least I now know I'm capable of putting one in on myself, even if it's not exactly perfect. But hey, it stayed in for what? Two weeks? That's pretty good! It means I got it in nice and tight! And that's really important for these things. If they're too loose, then they slide out quicker.

Ah, and last night I lost my mind. I put a spool of thread down, and then couldn't find it again. Literally gone! I was searching everywhere, muttering to myself about how these costumes have causted me to lose my mind and that I probably ATE the spool when I wasn't looking.

After dad and my brother gave up helping me, I eventually gave up and found a spool that was not quite the color I wanted. But it will do. And this one is too big to fit in my mouth, so I know if it goes missing I didn't eat it.

Took hair out. The string made very cute little slinkies. Counteracted the sadness of no longer having nifty thing in hair. Oh, and did my hair poof. After being in a tight little braid for 2 weeks, it was CRIMPED! I brushed it out, and it exploded to at least 10 times it's normal poof!

A nice long shower fixed that though. It was nice to be able to properly wash my hair without worrying about getting tangled on the wrap. And wow, lots of hair fell out of that thing. ^^;

Today'd goals, which I shall probably not finish!
- Return soda bottles for deposits
- Use deposit money to buy beans to fill lemon scented bat
- Dry a lemon for said bat
- Dry an orange for Delirium costume
- Hem bottom of Pepper dress
- Add trim to said dress
- Work on head piece for said dress

Haha! I got almost nothing done today! Who didn't expect that?

All I did was finish off the hem on my dress, and start applying the trim. I've been too lazy to do anything else. Plus it's cold today. I hate the cold.

I've been trying to convince my family that they want to go to the renfaire this weekend. That hasn't quite been working too well, as mom wants to do home improvement instead. Bah!

But my dog is really cute.

We are neglected children

Please notice the time. I have yet to eat. Parents said they would bring food home. That would be nice, as I just looked and there is little to nothing to cook. I had some toast. Though, if I did cook something, my parents would probably come home and complain that I didn't wait for them to bring food.

Isn't it nice how they call and tell me "We're going to be late. Why don't you start dinner." Ah but I live in a fantasy world. They never think to call. Or perhaps leave some money so I could have gone food shopping hours ago. Where are they and what is taking so long!?

Oh my god! They're home! They better have food! And I'm going to yell at them for not calling. *hrmph*
