novelization giveaway at Dragon*Con by KRAD

Me, I'm there, I'm first, please. Yeah, ok, I'm not corporeally there yet but I will be and I'll be looking for you. Um, does it count if I hunt you don't and tackle you in the hallway? It's beside the point that I don't know what you look like...

Ah, then I have the advantage since I DO know what KRAD looks like. One shouldn't keep power like that to oneself.

Hmmm, just when I was wondering what I should do if my copy of the novelization doesn't get to me before I leave for D*C

(Amazon says they're shipping it next week, but it'll probably arrive a few hours AFTER I leave

Ok Fireflygal, now that we know what he looks like, you, me, and my daughter will stalk, uh, no, I meant search for Krad and keep in communication via cell phone....."Krad sighting in Sector 5!".

And thanks Krad, this is very cool of you to do. I hope to be the second in line after Fireflygal.

You got it BB1, poor Krad will never make it to the autograph table. Or he will but he'll be all desheveled and short a few books. ..."it was these crazed women, they attacked me from out of nowhere".. (hey, we did the math...)

Looking forward to 7 days from now, I'll be setting foot in the Mariott and closer to hundreds of new Browncoat friends!

Okay, I've got my autograph schedule. The book giveaway will be at:

Saturday at 10am in Bonn (in the Marriott, which is the official autograph area).

If, by some miracle, any of the 50 are left, I'll give the remainder away Sunday at 1pm in the same place.

NO this is NOT fair. I was leaning toward BEING in the parade and I still want to but can we do? Hey Krad, I know this is greedy of me but can you maybe save a dozen or so for those of us crying here because of this ruttin' scheduling. We want to show our numbers in the parade but we don't want to lose out on something cool because of it

Can you help Krad? ...starts seriously thinking about setting up the ambush w/LitWolf and BB1....

In the past 3-4 years, I've seen at least 1 sci-fi/fantasy book store show up, plus a few other dealers with the hard-to-find 1st editions. You never know which dealers will show up at Dragon Con, though.

Rats, gotta do the parade, but free signed book from Krad? Hmmm. Let me think. Ok -Fireflygal and Litwolf, here's the plan. Litwolf and I are arriving early on Thursday. We will bring the picture of Krad for reference, and begin Operation "Track down Krad, Grab Him By the Ankles and Tickle Him Till He Gives us the Books" early. (So Krad, are you enjoying the visual yet?) We will hold him till Fireflygal arrives, then run away giggling like 12 year olds with our books tucked safely under our arms. Sychronize (sp) your watches!

Ok Krad, Plan B I get there around 6pm Thursday. I find where BB1 and LitWolf have you captured, we tickle you till you tell us where the books are, we drag you to the books and let you breathe long enough to sign them, then we run away giggling like schoolgirls.

Cell phones and tickle fingers at the ready, ladies

You know, BB1 and LitWolf this would be so much easier on poor Krad if he would just agree to put several books aside for the whiney Browncoats that now really can't make the signing because of the parade. I think that would be fair, don't you?

By the way, this is just one more bit of proof that shows that DragonCon should not hold panels and such DURING the ruttin' parade and I plan on suggesting that YET AGAIN.
