I have no fears.  I live a block from the bookstore's building.  So I 
will dress up, attend beforehand, then as soon as they start handing 
them out, and the book is in my hands, I'll rush to a chair and start 
reading till they kick me out.  Then I'll go straight back home next 
door and continue reading the rest of the weekend, locked pleasantly 
in my home with no distractions (or possibly sleep).  No problem.

Then I can emerge safely on Monday without fearing from spoilers in 
society!

I worked quite hard on the costume, though-- I missed the hoopla last 
time, so this is a chance to mingle with other fans in my 
neighborhood.  But as soon as 12:01 hits, yes I'll be as 'antisocial' 
as you, till it's over... >:)
