Quite a good night out with vulgarweed . Anything I've forgotten in the haze, hopefully she can fill in later. Here's what I can recall, in a smaller nutshell (far larger nutshell on my LJ)...
The limes prolly have to do with Anansi Boys, methinks.
“Ah yes,” he said, “the scene with Salim and the ifrit.” Looking straight into my eyes he continued, “That was a fun little scene to write,” and grinned. I grinned back saying, “Fun to read as well.” He went on, looking back down to sign the book, “So you’re a slasher then, are you?” I laughed, “Only sometimes.” He chuckled again.
What I love about Neil is how he reads his fans and sorta plays with us. And how he accepts stuff like that and what his attitude is. Like we're in a secret conspiracy with him, or something. I can't explain it.
Oh fuck, he has to come here for next year's comic festival.
Wah! I wish I could shower him in gifts, but I don't know what I'd bring. I don't draw anything worth sharing. Tomatoes, perhaps. Or a pillow and/or caffeine pills.
Oh, and thanks for the note about photos. I was debating about bringing my camera, and I think I shall, if only to get passing and very blurry photos of his head half cut off.
The thing is, he seemed totally surprised that I was GIVING him the comic. Like he never gets gifts or anything. I'm betting that if someone else brought him presents he'd be very appreciative :)
Tomatoes it is! Now, to convince my dad that we should make a pitstop on the way to the bookstore... Or perhaps a slip of paper with "Pip's soul" on it.
(Another reason I'd never give him anything I draw, besides the reason that I completely suck at it, is because the only comic pertaining him has me asking him if he really does vibrate...)
He's coming to my town on the 4th, I cannot wait. I may die of excitement.
(Also Pratchett is coming on Monday, so I'm going to get them BOTH to sign GO, and if I can manage it, write messages to each other when they do. I really will die. Hehe.)

PS: What's with the limes?

The poor dear looks exhausted, though.

And on an unrelated note, I like your hair, whichever of you two ladies has the wavy mane with light bits at the front.
