I am sadder than I was yesterday.
That reminds me of Tom Scola's call yesterday -- after Hec had extracted from him all possible Prom gossip and passed the phone on to me, his first words were a wrenching cri de coeur, "JZ! How are you? I JUST MISS EVERYONE SO MUCH."
I do too. In fact, having missed the last several F2Fs and finally made it to this one, I have to say that the post-F2F sorrow may actually be slightly
more
heart-twisting than the I-can't-believe-I-missed-it bitterness.

yes, but it is tempered by the lovely memories.

that's not a matterhorn!! Handcheck! HANDCHECK!!
You mean it's a raging matterhorn? Hmm. You could have a point there, omnis...
Do you need more Jilli?
How about 73 minutes of Jilli?
That's not a typo.
Seventy three minutes.
Jilli made an appearance on Queenie TV. This was filmed after the LA signing. Much fun was had. Jilli and Queenie really were separated at birth.

Yes, I have a cameo. Or two.
Pete and Jilli, where are you headed next? At some point I need to get another book signed by you. The family I brought Friday night? With the almost-teen who looked uninterested the entire time? Well it turns out she was acting bored but listened to everything and went home and talked to her parents for the rest of the evening...all about Jilli.
I need to get her a book, signed, that reads "Thank goodness you're a teenager now and past the Miley Cyrus days!" or some such. She turns 13 in October, so I've got some time.
And my final Seattle post is up.

I could possibly get it signed at Comic-Con, although I don't know whether I'll be able to see them or not. Their appearance is around the time of the
Dollhouse
panel.
Ooh, P-C, that would be awesome. If not, I'm sure I'll figure out another way. I was just so stoked that Maggie was so into it! If she gets it as a gift, and takes it to school...and other kids want their own copy...it's all good.
If I can't make it to their booth, maybe Jilli and Pete and I can work out a way to meet some other time while they're there. We have phones!
