aw, and here i thought you were excited about having lunch with me saturday. [Smile]

Posted by msquared (Member # 4484) on :

They have their reasons and I have mine. So I will not be at the signing until closer to the start time.

Don't look for me.

Posted by TomDavidson (Member # 124) on :

msquared is celia? I suppose that explains a lot.

Posted by msquared (Member # 4484) on :

The truth is out.

msquared

Posted by celia60 (Member # 2039) on :

Posted by msquared (Member # 4484) on :

Actually mcubed(Mrs. msquared) will be there as well.

And my oldest son's name is Geoff.

Hey wait a second. I'm OSC.

I think what msquared meant to say was "I have cilia". My impression is that he just needed to get that off his chest.

Seriously, though, msquared, that's fantastic! I'll bet you have a great time.

Posted by Kayla (Member # 2403) on :

So, M2, you're having dinner with yourself? I do that everyday. Why so psyched?

Posted by celia60 (Member # 2039) on :

maybe he meant psychotic? he's already admitted to at least 3 personalities.

Posted by Ayelar (Member # 183) on :

You are NOT!!!

How on earth did you swing that??

[Razz]

<-- see how it's a little green, as if with envy maybe? [Big Grin]

Posted by msquared (Member # 4484) on :

Because having dinner with myself is more fun then what I usually get to do with myself. [Razz]

Posted by celia60 (Member # 2039) on :

then you're doing it wrong.

Well, it's POSSIBLE that msquared is OrneryMod, and therefore had a legitimate reason to get OSC to read his invitation. *grin* But if I know msquared at all, he probably wrote OSC and said something like "Hey, you remember that OrneryCon I invited you to, but you couldn't make? I hold one, you know. And if you want to drop by my place now that you're in town, I'll feed you."

Posted by celia60 (Member # 2039) on :

or we are.

[Confused]

Posted by beatnix19 (Member # 5836) on :

My early comments aside I am happy that you get to be the luckiest guy alive tonight but I'm also curious ...

Is this something you can explain right now? Or is it more personal?

Ayelar

Part of it has to do with the fact that I met Kristine at the Dayton book signing last year and invited the Cards to OrneryCon. We sort of kept in contact since then and when they announced the tour I contacted her again and gave her the names of several nice eating places that are located with in 10-15 minutes of the signing place. I also told them that I would love to treat them to dinner and gave them my phone numbers. She said that they usually do not plan that far ahead. But she just called and I set it up. There are other reasons that I can not go into here as to why, but let's just say I can barely work right now.

Wow. I know I'd go all stupid and fan-girl if I ever found myself at the same table. Isn't that silly? But I swear to God, I would sit there silent and nervous the entire freaking time. Kind of like the times I met Steve Jobs. I am such an incredible goober when it comes to these things!!

You seem rather calm and collected, though.... um, where will you be eating? And what city are you located in? :: runs off to check priceline.com ::

[Big Grin]

Posted by msquared (Member # 4484) on :

Right now I would rather not say where we are eating. Mabye tomorrow I will give all the details.

Check his schedule and you will see where I am.

Posted by celia60 (Member # 2039) on :

see? that's how you know he isn't me. i would never have started this thread; i'd have started one tomorrow telling you all how great dinner was. [Wink]

Posted by beatnix19 (Member # 5836) on :

Hmm... tempted to wonder local dinning establishments.

But... I don't know Kettering very well... may end up lost... if I end up lost I may miss signing... Oh, crap. Looks like a burger on the road and straight to the signing.

Posted by Eruve Nandiriel (Member # 5677) on :

No Way!
I am so jelous!

Posted by Anna (Member # 2582) on :

I'm VERY jealous(especially because I don't expect OSC to come in France), but anyway, have a great time !

Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :

That's very cool, m²! Have fun. [Smile]

lol, I would too. Wait, I do that with anyone that I don't know that well... Well, I would do it more with someone I'm in awe of.

Anna: I know how you feel.
