It was amazzinggg! He was so lovely and took such a long time properly talking to everyone.
He said he had heard there had been a 667 marriage, so I guess either he lurks or he has informers. Either way, very cool that he gets to hear little bits from here.
I brought some prints of some of my ASOUE illustrations to give him & he was so lovely about them and thanked me more than once; he seemed genuinely delighted which was really nice.
He also told Bee about the original design for The Basic Eight's cover, which sounded atrocious, and which he thankfully managed to get scrapped.
He was also very entertaining for the actual interview portion, and made a dramatic exit by running from the stage after strongly implying he was Count Olaf in disguise.

Despite my confident exterior, I am quite shy. Plus my partner was a little annoyed, how long I was in the line for! I got the autobiography signed. When I asked him again at the signing table, he said that he enjoyed my torment. We all watched you get the autobiography signed! cwm should've said hi to us and got in the pic damn

P.S. what is “the stage show” ? Something that our thread upon was nuked by Semblance, but from what I remember it is a musical in ASOUE land that isn't an adaptation, has the final letter N in its title, and includes the song lyrics "Evil lurking, every avenue is very fraught" and "Life is cruel and overly long, overly long!"

This is a better summary than mine. So many small details I forgot! It was an amazing day. We all got Thai food after. Lisa Brown was also there waiting patiently for him and she smiled at me a few times. We all joked about inviting both of them to lunch.

It's a stand alone story, yes, he confirmed today.

I was wondering if she was just some liaison or something.

This has been peak 667 for me. All staff meeting should be in person going forward.
And yes, he confirmed that the stage show is Snicket based, but not an adaptation of the books, but rather a new story.

I was wondering if she was just some liaison or something. No, that was a liasion. Lisa Brown was slightly behind her, at the tables. She seemed to be writing notes or some such. At the time she was there you were a lot further ahead of us, so maybe you missed her, idk.

Yay, a new story in the Averse! The last one like this was either Poison For Breakfast or All The Wrong Questions, depending on your theories. I'm pretty sure it'll have more plot than PFB, because pretty much anything has more plot than PFB.

Also, we have already we should send Daniel Handler the picture as part of his birthday present for next year, but I have an even better idea...

Sorry to have missed you all -- I was quite near someone with a copy of TUA in the signing queue which I presume was Agathological, and I thought might be a 667er at the time, but was too nervous to speak up in case I was wrong and they had no idea what I was talking about!

Lunch was a staff meeting, unfortunately we didn't get round to discussing member of the month oops
