When tickets went on sale, Pete asked me, very seriously, if I thought I should go, considering how my year has been and my newly-tender issues about mortality. I completely understand why he had to ask, but this is probably my last chance to see Sir Terry again. So yeah. I'm going.
(Must take extra handkerchiefs.)
Oh, have fun, Jilli! I saw him talk in Berkeley some years ago and it was great.
Oh, I'm glad you're going, Jilli. I'm reading Snuff right now (AIFG, of course) and it's making me all sentimental about him in general and how ridiculously kind he was to meet a bunch of internet fans for dinner a million years ago specifically. Somehow, knowing you will see him is almost as good as seeing him myself.
Sir Terry has always been so kind to his fans; it's one of the things I admire most about him.
I'll be sure to post a report of the talk. He's not doing a book signing; he pre-signed a bunch of books for the bookstore hosting the event, but no one's getting to meet him.
On the one hand, I'm excited, 'cos Sir Terry! On the other hand, this is going to be bittersweet, because this is probably the last book tour he'll be doing. I'm wearing cry-proof eyeliner, just to be safe.
Sometimes it's good to cry.
You guys! There were raffle tickets in the books! I have a winning ticket to go meet Sir Terry after the talk!

And
you're interviewing the Damned?
I think 2011 is sorry and is trying to make up.
Jilli, how wonderful! I'm so excited for you.
Jilli! That's so awesome! Report back!!
