Oh, dude.
I am sooo jealous!!!!
Most excellent!
Can't wait to read this-- we are nowhere near any of the tour spots.
*sigh* I guess I could hear him read it on video-- he does post links.
Glad you got to go!

You can totally hear/see him on video. Although if you were a true fan, you'd have driven the five hours to Philly, only to stand in line in the rain, see/hear Neil read, and then drive the five hours back, plus one more on to Butler. That's what the guy behind me in line did (with his girlfriend).

Ai, yi yi!
I'll say it again-- I am just not a fangirl.
But I do love his stories...

I am so jealous right now. Please post a pic of the signed copy so that I can finish turning green.

But yay Neil!!! That's so awesome that you got to see him!

I have either misplaced or completely lost my digital camera, so I am unable to comply with your request at this time. I'm pretty stoked to have it.

Oh my. My my.

Oh dear.

I have a writer crush on him, too. But I'm really afraid that if I hear him read, I won't like him anymore. You see, I was traumatized by the British when I worked in the film industry (I'll bet you didn't know that the British actually export all of their criminally insane to Los Angeles, but they do, and now you know) and now I bristle at British accents. Well, "bristle" is an understatement. Writhe is more like it.

Anyhoo, I'm still squee-ing that you got to see him read, and jealous. Thanks for sharing.

My copy of "Graveyard" came in the mail today, and as soon as I get my writing done for today, I'm going to start reading.

I did not know about the importation of insane Brits. But I love me a British accent. Or Scots. Or Irish. Or Welsh. Or French. Or Italian. Or Spanish. Or South African. I guess I could just make that "I love me an accent", usually.

You learn the most useful things from the Internet. Now you know if you are even in Los Angeles and you hear a British accent, you must run. Fast.

I love South African accents, too.

Though where I live, most accents are non-European. Chinese, Indian, and Pakistani, mostly.

Okay, okay. You have convinced me. I have just put CORALINE on my library list and I will, finally, read some Gaiman. I've been intrigued for a while, since you told me about his bee-ish ways, but, you know, so many books, so little time.

I'll be waiting to hear if you enjoy it. Graphic novel or regular novel version?

Oh - and at the thing, someone's question was "Why didn't you bring us some of your honey for Rosh Hashanah?" And his answer was that he flew with a carryon, plus we were too many. But his honey won first prize at the county fair.
