Neil!

For me, there is nothing quite like meeting one of your favorite authors and getting their book signed. Bonus points if they inscribe it to you. So it was with much joy that I learned Old Firehouse Books in Ft. Collins had won the Neil Gaiman signing for his new book "Trigger Warning."  Joy! 

Several friends made the trek to Ft. Collins and waited in line with several thousand other folks for 6 1/2 hours for the privilege of meeting @neilhimself. He drove right by where we were standing when he arrived. Several hours later, we met him. And he didn't just sign one copy. He signed 4. And personalized them. Just incredible. And he allowed families with small kids to cut to the front of the line so they could meet him and get on home. It was quite an evening. He said on Twitter the next day that he stayed until 315 AM signing stuff. And that everything hurt.
