Thanks for that. Much appreciated.

I will really try and make it - I would love to ask him some questions.

Unfortunately, while I remember you mentioning that at the write-in, I have no idea which person matches up to which username, so I don't know who I am thanking. :)

Ooh, yeah, I saw that in my Readers and Writers week pamphlet. Planning to somehow coerce my parents to take me on the train over there at the time, so I can see/hear him talk. Because Neil Gaiman is made of too much sheer undiluted awesome for me to possibly be able to miss that.

JEALOUS!

Hardly anyone good ever comes to Chch. So depressing. May have to fly up. Neil Gaiman is so worth having no money for ages afterward. Who needs savings anyway?

(and I suppose I can hope again hope that Amanda Palmer might be there as well)

nevermind

The whole weekend sounds rather good - with Neil Gaiman there too makes it a HAVE to sort out being there (at least it's only a 2 hour drive awayfor me).
