Yeah, and if I get in, HOPEFULLY, I'll have a spare ticket to take a 667er. HOPEFULLY.

Hahahaha, as it turned out I wasn't even in the country. His first U.K. tour, I think, and I wasn't even in my home country. Eh, if I don't laugh I'll cry. Hahaha.

I saw Daniel/Lemony at Hay yesterday (along with 1000 odd other, very hot people), and he was fantastic- the best event I saw at the festival (and that's some good competition!).
No news to report really- his voice trailed off after The Bad Beginning...The Penultimate Peril... and wasn't audible again until ...and all the other books Mr Snicket has written. I did notice that he signed a book for somebody 'Daniel Handler (LS)', which I havn't seen before (I'm happy enough with my DH signed adverbs and embossed TPP). He also managed to shift a lot more books than he would have done by not doing a signing after his children's event- he presigned books, and we all had to buy a second copy! (Which whilst everyone voiced, nobody really seemed to mind- £7 for an autograph is a lot more reasonable than a questionable one from eBay!).
A fantastic couple of hours, all in all:D.
DH- "...it's more of an American thing; well, we taught you pre-emptive war, we might as well teach you EAP"

EAP??
How exciting that you got to see him. What a scam that you didn't get to meet him and had to buy another book. But it probably wasn't his idea, but the organizers'.

I think that they did the pre-signed book thing as there were over 1000 people likely to want a book signed, and he had another event (about Adverbs) to get to later that afternoon- after which he did do a signing (when most of the LS crowd had gone away; the bookshop had said that he wouldn't be signing ASOUE, but he was great- joking with everyone, embossing ASOUE books, posing for photographs, even signing scraps of paper for some- which he obviously wouldn't have been able to do had he had 1000 people to sign for!) I'm very glad I went back to the signing tent at the end of the day, 'just in case' ;D Edit- Guardian blog from yesterday; blogs.guardian.co.uk/culturevulture/archives/2006/06/05/a_notsounfortun.html#more |

He had to sign those pre-signed books some time. It would have been much nicer to sign them personally for everyone instead, considering how seldom he ever goes to Great Britain.

I live in England and I have met him IN ENGALAND!!! A while ago I won a comptition with 70 others to meet him at the Clink prison Museum in London. It was amazing. He singed the SS and the BB and we got a massive goodie bag with stuff inside! I won by entering the competition on unfortunateevents.com. The english site. So he has come over here once. I hope he comes again!  |
