I just got home from seeing John Hodgman speak at the Borders down the street from me. It was amazing. Let me relate my experience to you. ( the answer lies within )
Oh my god! That is...that is so awesome, there are no words! How can one person be that hilarious all the time? :D Ooh, and refer to my latest post for some interesting and hopefully true information about him...
I know! It seems impossible that he could be so hilarious. He was all like "People think they have to ask me really clever questions at these Q&As, that they have to be really funny and start up some improv comedy routine. But there's a reason I wrote a book." But he is actually funny all the time! I love him. :)
The Teachers' Edition is a new paperback edition of the book; the best part about it is that there are handwritten notes in all the margins, marking up all the text. I can't wait to read through it. :D
Yeah, it was just a free reading. I didn't have to wait in line that long, I was not that far from the front.
Haha, I would, but he wasn't saying birds aren't dinosaurs (or dinosaurs aren't birds), he was saying that he hopes I find living dinosaurs besides birds. :D I think that icon may give the wrong impression, and after all "the world is round and birds are dinosaurs" :)
I'll probably try to be there around 6:15-6:30pm (begins at 7pm)... we got there yesterday less than a half an hour before and we still got pretty good seats. It was super fun! :D
Yeesh. I am so used to Letters for Santa at the etc stage that my mental state is "MUST GET THERE AT 5 TO GAIN ACCESS FOR 10PM SHOW. MUST GET THERE EARLY BECAUSE THE WILCAS WILL GET THERE FIRST."
That being said, I will likely walk there after work, so I'll be there around 6:00 or maybe earlier.

Incredible!!!! And was that just a free thing at Borders? How long did you have to wait in line?
"ARGH, YOU HAD TO PLAY THE PALEONTOLOGIST CARD!" *ROTFLMAO!!!!*
Sara, I ask one thing of you, and one thing only: I command you to create an icon of a dinosaur, and on it shall be the holy words "NOT BIRDS!"
*still giggling*
