These are two items that I brought with me, with the hope of getting them signed. Hope, alas, dashed!
The first, of course, was meant for Stan the Man on Saturday! Alas, the photo-op did not allow for more than a few words before pose, kiss, point, and click. I can't remember when/how I got that book, but it's been on my shelf in my room at my parents' place since junior high. I brought it back with me a couple of trips home ago, thinking I'd pass it on or share it with my nephew. Was really hoping I could get Stan Lee to write a little something to him in it. Maybe next year!
And, oh, LOCKE AND KEY. That was meant for Joe hill and Gabriel Rodriguez on Sunday. N was gonna get Joe to sign a couple of his novels (I loved HEART SHAPED BOX and the movie adaptation of HORNS) and I was gonna ask him and artist Gabriel Rodriguez to sign my first volume of the trades. Unfortunately, Joe ended up leaving early for the day (contrary to the very official-looking and no doubt notarized notice left on his table, foo) and we never got to meet him. Nuts.
HOMER: You're right, Marge. Just like the time I could have met Mr. T at the mall. The entire day, I kept saying, "I'll go a little later, I'll go a little later..." And when I got there, they told me he just left. And when I asked the mall guy if he'll ever come back again, he said he didn't know. Well, I'm never going to let something like that happen again!
