I was very briefly able to look at some of Nilly's pictures. I saw the ones from DC and just a couple from LA and NYC.
I hope I can see the rest soon.
I particularly loved Nilly in Einstein's lap.
I notice that she didn't try to get in Lincoln's lap -- but he does look less cuddly.
Jen, those pictures are great! I especially love the one of Nilly in Jayne's hat--the look on her face is priceless.
Nilly does nothing part-way. If she is giddy, whe is REALLY giddy. If she is laughing, she is REALLY laughing. I love that about her.
Lincoln is very, very big; I think the guards would stop you if you attempted to drive pitons into him.
The Lincoln stature is completely ginormous. Somehow, though, not imposing - just a bit sad.
Ahem. I am briefly hijacking the thread for a Halloween in Seattle update, already posted in Press, because it has suddenly become urgent:
SEATTLEISTAS
Will go to F2F with this and email with this as well, but my signing/reading event at Barnes and Noble, University Village, is official for Halloween weekend. Laura Stretchenback is asking which night I'd prefer. I'm thinking the Saturday night (30 October). In any event, I want to schedule it so that the maximum number of people show up (obviously!) and also to maybe rock the B&N with a nice gothy little party, which Laura would probably love.
I need to confirm this with both the store and my publicist, so if people could e me with what date they'd prefer, I can get this set up ASAP.
Thanks!
I've pinged Jilli, though I doubt she'll be up until later.
Insending.
WOOT! Thank you, love. I'm all excited. Back to Seattle, and UV, and all!
I may even want to buy everyone a nice dinner beforehand (St. Martin's still owes me the last chunk of the advance on the book).
(stumbles into thread, clutching cup of coffee)
Right. Deb. Seattle. Halloween. UV book reading thingamie.
(Drinks more coffee)
Oct. 30 is the night that most of the Halloween parties are happening, but I don't think that will have any impact on who I would round up to be at B&N.
Drat. Fun will be happening in Seattle and I'll be in San Francisco that weekend.
ND, that sucks. It sucks twice, because we miss you on our home turf. But at least we're in LA the weekend of 24 September.
Jilli, emailed you; I was thinking of a nice early event, getting us out of Barnes and Noble by 9 latest, and off to whatever parties are happening. Nic's coming up for this one.
Also, can someone rec me a not too pricey but centrally located hotel in Seattle?
