Hello

Well I just wanted to add a little about the Houston party as well
(Hi Penny! It was great to meet you!)

I think it was kind of a mob scene, but I think that is more of the
bookstore's fault than anything. Penny I don't know if you watched the
magic/science show or were at the front of the book line. I watched the
magic show and was called at about 12:20 or so to pick up my book. (They
were calling people in groups of 20 to line up for the book.) When I
got to the book line I couldn't find it!!! :) I mean there was just a
mass of people standing there and finally a very harassed looking store
clerk again called for anyone with the first 60 numbers to go to her.

I didn't leave until 12:45 and they had called about 150 or so numbers and
a lot of people were still waiting. I have no clue if they ran out or not.

I think the bookstore started worrying a little about how many people
were going to show up. They called me at about 6 p.m. Friday evening to
ask if I still wanted my book on reserve and if I was planning on coming
in for the party.

I'm just glad that I got my book with no real problems!!! :)
