For our viewers at home, which questions should I pose to him? I plan on asking him about the new books, the wart-faced man, and BSam's hugs. Is our resident speciality chocolate-filled biscuit available for call-ige (or is he at college)?
Let's have your requests, then, and I'll try to get away with as much as possible.
P.S. Sorry about the chosen location for this thread, but I wanted as many people as possible to see it. Its movement can occur at any time; hopefully said movement will occur after this thread has lived out its purpose.

I'm going to see him on Saturday so if you can't ask all you want to ask, I will.

Ask him if he still wears the button I gave him last April.

I'd be happy to ask him, too. I'll also be going to see him on Monday.

Wow. And CM can ask Emma, and vice versa.
Disturbing.

Say something really unusual to him that'll stick in his mind, and then Alice and CM and Emma can all say the exact same thing. I'm not sure what yet, though.
Also we already know how many Beatrices there are (one older, one younger, one boat).

Everyone offer him a breath mint. Then he'll know you're 667ers (or at least that you read The Insidious Inquiries).

It didn't work that way. The first thing I did was offer him a breath mint, and he cordially accepted - but when I asked him if he knew why I did that, he said "of course - never refuse a breath mint." But it didn't seem to me that to him, it was a 667 reference. It was just a breath mint.
I got there late, and was the last person (well, my mother, sister and I were). ((A second, less deep well: a shop clerk got some paperbacks signed after we were done).
I'm tired, so I'll tell you the rest of it Latour.

You look absolutely amazing though there appear to be ghosts in the photo. Beatrice, perhaps?
I called the library today and the librarian told me that only the first three hundred people will get their books signed. I had been planning to leave around ten and arrive around eleven but the books go on sale at nine. I have to be there at eight-thirtish and my mother is pregnant and hormonal and will not like that one little bit. Everyone wish me luck. I've waited so long to meet him...was so disappointed in 2006...so elated in 2007...
Will do on the breath mints, but will mention the fact that I am Alice, "Oh Alice" and "HOW DARE YOU MR. HANDLER TEMPT ME WITH YOUR SONGS AND PHONE CALLS BUT NOT SIGN ANY BOOKS Alice". If I get there on time. Sometimes I wonder if it's more trouble than it's worth. Even if I do meet him, he'll only pretend to be morose (or, because he met me, actually be morose) for a few minutes and then forget all about me. *sigh*
I'll do it for my unborn sister though. I want him to sign A Lump of Coal for her.

Mr. Who, that is the best picture I've seen in a very long time.
Good luck, Alice. How do you plan to introduce the fact that you're "Oh, Alice"?

Oh, Alice. Best of luck to you, dear, you deserve it for your awesomeness and altruism.
Oh, Who. THAT PICTURE IS AMAZING. OMG. YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW DISTRESSED HANDLER LOOKS AND HOW GAY-IN-MORE-WAYS-THAN-ONE YOU LOOK.
AND THE PINSTRIPES.

Mention 667 as I hand him the breath mint and the Insidious Inquiries, explaining that it was my birthday and I missed him at the 2006 Waxahachie The End signing so they let my question slip in and he mentioned me by [screen]name in his answer. J, Mr. Whandler is the one true pairing.
