Eeeeeeee! Oh man, how long am I going to have to camp out in the room so I have a seat for the panel.
And I would rule them all with an iron fist. And Jilli is my GIR.
WAITAMINUTE. I am much more linear than GIR, dammit. Besides, this "wacky sidekick" thing is just my cover story. Really.

Oh good grief.
It won't interfere with Jilli's signing, that's on Friday. It, however, overlaps with the start of my signing for Magic.

I don't believe you have a chance.
People! I am perfectly capable of comporting myself like a proper, rational person, and will not launch myself at Gerard Way while making "EEEEEEEEEE!" noises and grabby-hands. I am

(This doesn't mean that I wouldn't love to go have coffee with him and talk about books, but really. My fangirl crush on him is something I can control, because I don't want to look like a crazy person.)

the two of you are rolling your eyes.)
The thought of Jilli and Gerard bonding over a nice Sumatran dark roast is delightful.

Right until he dumps CoffeeMate into it.
There WILL BE NO
BONDING.
There WILL BE NO BONDING.
We can talk about vampire books! And eyeliner! And I can tell him how pretty and talented his wife is!
