Ponderings

Neil Gaiman will be signing stuff at the London Forbidden Planet on Friday. I have the day off and could easily train down and up again.
Would be cool to meet him extremely briefly in the flesh, say Hi etc. but the queues will no doubt be huge and I might not make it to the front so it might not be worth it.

Anyone care to keep me company and for for a bite afterwards if I go?

Would love to. Not going to be able to.

chilledchimp doesn't work Fridays so I'll ask her what she's up to. What's the Big G signing?

We went to his Coraline preview a few years ago. It was held in the TUC basement not far from Planet and was pretty entertaining. I really must get round to reading it.

Fragile Things, the paperback's just come out.

I'd love to go to one of his readings and Coraline is indeed a fine book.

Argh, wanted for years to meet him... and he picks my husband's 40th birthday to appear. Just finished re-reading Neverwhere too, so I'm on a real Gaiman trip at the mo.

DAMMIT!

You'll be celebrating all day? :o)

Most of, plus I have to work part of it too :o(

Next time Neil, next time :o)

Ordinarily I'd jump at the chance. This Friday, however, is just Not Possible.

How come I'm always busy when Gaiman is in the UK? Apparently I missed going to see the same performance of Wolves in the Walls by a day or two as well. Pfeh!
