Daniel Handler is coming to my library sometime this fall.
So, any suggestions for what I should ask him? NO THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE THEORIES ABOUT BEATRICE AND THE END OF THE SERIES KTHX. I'm thinking of bringing him an unholy amount of presents, i.e. food and drawings. I'm also going to dig out my copy of The Basic Eight and possibly my rare edition of BB (if I can find it ;____;) and making him sign both of them. And I will give him a big hug and never wash my arms evar again.

*cries* Take lots of pictures of him and send them to me, and TELL HIM TO COME TO CANADA!!! Take him prezzies from me, too. I'll make you take stuff from me and tell him that I'm the coolest person ever and that he should come to Canada and visit me. Sorry... on to making sense...
What kind of food are you going to give him? Absinthe? Wait... it's illegal, isn't it? Cookies shaped like accordians and typewriters?
Out of curiousity, where did you find this out? Just at your library, or is there a site with tour info?

Man! A SCRAPBOOK! That's such a kick-arsenal idea! No, that's a great idea! Everyone can send stuff to put in the scrapbook and you can give it to him and say it's from a fan community, give him the URL and all that. That would be THE GREATEST!

Just called the library, IT'S TRUE. Turns out we ended up winning a nationwide contest or something and he's going to be coming in the fall. Didn't find out when, though.
FYI, it's in Columbia, MD if anyone's in the area.
Haha, I was thinking more of pudding or something, or maybe some Chocolate Bad Thing, which is like a six-layer cake that will almost certainly kill him from the sheer amount of cholesterol in it.
A tin of cookies might not be bad, though.
Yeah, I do mostly digital art but I draw and paint pretty well, IMO. I dunno if my style would sit well with him. If I do make a collection or something it'll probably just be mine, since I don't feel comfortable taking things from other people and giving them to him. (or things of that manner) It makes me twitch.
AWESOME idea. I will definitely mention that to him, and also I will have to persuade him to put out a book at the end of the series written by Count Olaf, detailing what went on in his head (and hopefully in the heads of the rest of the troupe. YES).
Also, I really really want a goddamn ASOUE art book. Think of how kickass it would be--full-color versions of the international covers compared to the originals, character and profile pictures of EVERYONE, and oh my god if he did a comic at the back I'd faint. I keep on wanting to do a comic version of the books, except not only would it be overwhelming, I'd probably go insane from having to draw the Baudelaires all the time. I'm much better at the bad dudes, and Violet. OKAY I'M GETTING OFF TRACK
...Ooh, wait! He could do the art book, rerelease a rare edition of UA, and the Count Olaf book and release them all at the same time in a box set! YEAH.
I will also tell him to go to Canada (Saskatchewan!) sometime, and the UK. I'm surprised he hasn't been there already.

An allusion book and an art book that would be a great idea. I would even buy two of those, one to keep and the other one to frame my fave images and hang them on the boring walls of my room/"crazy guy cell".

We could send him a huge fan letter and request an art book.... and then he could pass it on and work on it and DH would probably listen to him better than he would to us. Do you know the exact date on which he comes?

Nope, not the exact date. But believe me, they're going to publicize the hell out of it before he comes, so we'll know possibly during the summer.

Was BSing around yesterday and started to draw a cover for this odd fanbook we've been talking about, so here's what I have of the cover so far--a little big, but it's in black and white so it shouldn't be that big. Top to bottom, left to right: Flacutono (head already fixed), Tocuna or Flo I can't remember, Olaf, Tocuna/Flo I can't remember, Lucafont with Sunny hanging off of his hook. Second row, Klaus, Violet looking COMPRESSED !!, with Duncan, Isadora and Madame Lulu off to the right. Will include eventually: Lemony, Quigley, Esme somewhere and maybe Mistah Pou. Really rough, from the time I scanned it I've already changed some stuff here or there. If you're wondering what that ugly space right above Olaf is, that's the remains of Lemony. I couldn't get him to look right. And feel free to be confused, it'll be a lot clearer once I color it. A lot of them don't have eyes at this point. That's kind of scary.
