Checking in
Oct. 22nd, 2005 05:27 pmHola, all - checking in from the wilds of Texas.
I'm in San Antonio and just finished an extremely successful signing at Remember the Alibi (we'll just forget about the time snafu, now shan't we?)*
Signed along with Marcia Talley and Kate Charles. Thanks to my book-pimping sister's efforts - I sold out, and had to replenish from the extras I'd brought. Whee!! (my sister pre-sold 24 to friends, in-laws, etc.).
My morning signing at Trinity University was a fascinating example of people-watching. Alums of TU do not buy books. They come to the events to see and be seen. I did sell 2 books, though.
Lunch was fab - an excursion to Demo's - a local family-owned Greek eatery. Dinner is at a friend's, a gathering of the old crowd. There will be Alaskan salmon, caught by said friend's SIL/BIL.
In a few, my sis and BIL and I are off to Alien Worlds, a local comics shop, and the used CD store (there are some oop CDs that they might have). Then off for food and frolic.
I jet back to DC tomorrow evening, arriving about 10:30. Then Monday a.m. is my surgery.
I so haven't caught up on LJ - hopefull, I can do so when I get back.
Catch you all on the flip side!
* ehr, ahem, uhm....I was 30 minutes late. I thought the signing was at 3:00, not 2:00...
