I just spent eight hours standing in line for Neil Gaiman's autograph.

+ Neal (my husband) did find my copy of The Day I Swapped My Dad For Two Goldfish.
+ Neil (the writer) told me first editions tend to go for a lot of money on Ebay. But mine is now personalized to Nixie, who isn't giving it up.
+ Neil Gaiman fans are so kind to each other!
+ Neil Gaiman is so lovely.
+ Neal and R brought me dinner in line.


In other news, I met my surgeon, who says I have a papilloma, which is not cancer but might turn into cancer, so I should let her take it out. Surgery scheduled for the 18th.

Is it that Neal and R who brought you dinner? (Neil Gaiman is famously nice but possibly to busy to deliver snacks to people standing in line for his signature.)

First editions are valuable?? Yay, I'll have to tell Hope & Karl. I gave a copy to their kids; the second one's in college, and there's another one after that.

Yay for decent if lengthy line-standing fannish experiences.

Yes! oops!

Sending good thoughts for the op.
Glad you had such a lovely time!

I'm so glad Neal found the book! And brought you dinner!

I hold my thumbs for your well-being.

Best of luck with the surgery.

Yeah, might as well. Are you a tummy sleeper? The hard part about breast surgery for me is sleeping differently.

Hurrah for non-traumatic line-standing.

I hope the surgery goes well.

The Neil Gaiman signing I went too was so lovely too. It was my first real-life experience being in a group of fannish people. I think it was about five years ago. I remember at least three people brought cookies to pass out in the line while we waited.

Fingers crossed for the surgery to go well. *hugs*
