(I somehow never posted a recap of this. had it ready, just never made it live . . .) Started out telling stories on stage: Believe the events shows up as a podcast in a couple weeks. And, next day, POV from the stage: Then the room filled up some more: Aftershots: Then it was […]
Guess I’m a little late to get this on the site—happened a month ago, at least?—better now than never:
Couldn’t have been a better time: Snapped a shot of the crowd from my angle, too (this is after the Q&A, after a few folks had stepped out): And here we are after it was over: And then it was one hour-long signing line followed immediately by another hour-long signing at the Mysterious Galaxy booth.
Such a good time. Hadn’t been in . . . maybe eleven years? Nice being back. And, Seattle’s always cool—caught Between Two Knees AND Scream 6 there, and slouched past the Space Needle Two Moons climbed once upon a story. And? Had one of those Chipotle-for-lunch and Chipotle-for-dinner days, which are pretty much the best
Just back. Another whirlwind thirty-six hour turnaround, but, man, got to talk with so many cool and excellent people, got to be part of the coolest awards ceremony—singing, drumming, storytellers, veterans. It was this: And at the end of it all, I got the mic—had to set my Whataburger sweet down for it: And got
Such an honor to get to do this event in downtown Missoula, at the museum. Standing room only—there was even a spillover area (I see now): And, wow, to be introduced by Lois Welch and Chris La Tray: And then it was off to the reading races. Hit a couple small pieces, then it was

Wow, ending this whole wild ride right back where I live—where I usually live, anyway. So cool. Have never packed this place either, but, there were people sitting to either side as well. Such a good Q&A, and it’s always the best, speaking with Arsen and Maeve. The radio + podcast version should post .
Have done a lot of events at Tattered Cover over the last dozen or so years, but I’ve never managed to fill the place such that they had to bring out more chairs. Was the best time. Snowy-bad night—really appreciate everybody making the trek. As for me, once again, I skated in about forty-five seconds
First, it was Brian Asman on the rocking intro: Then it was getting to talk with RJ Crowther—who’s IN the acknowledgements of Reaper! Got to sign a really rare one—and to Shane, which makes it extra cool: And seeing how tabbed up a book can get—so cool: Then posed with Reaper and Rob afterwards, for
Was in town for this this this: With these guys: And we got to introduce, get everybody screaming “We made you!” And then it was the live recording, and the signing of many-many books, and the BookPeople people teaching me the Gaiman-method of signing a lot at once: And here’s what it looked like from
First time I saw where I was going to be was online: And, man was it a cool place: Really, it was so cool that people at the signing table were telling me none of their photos were turning out—their cameras focused on the background instead. And of course the lights/colors probably didn’t help? I
I can’t shake these two into the right order, but, few interviews before hitting The Strand—this being one of them: And another: Which is here: And somewhere in there, heading up to the Simon & Schuster offices, I saw THIS in the lobby of 30 Rock: Just Joe and me: And then a solo shot
Started out like this, from the so-many-signatures of the night before: And, man, one thing I never get to do on the road? Hang onto any of the excellent posters: And then it was talking with Gabriel Venditti on-stage and . . . signing signing signing:
Started out talking with Becky Spratford for B&N: And . . . it’s here, still: Then it was hanging with Tim Seeley and Jim Terry: And the next day I was all over town (thanks to Jim), signing every Reaper that would stay under my pen: Which all led up to . . . LAUNCH

will add more bookstore clickthroughs as they appear (or, as I see them — could already be a lot more, I’m just not tagged)
Well, not really. But this reading did get taped, will be up for a little bit:
