That's very cool...but he's going to New Zealand and NOT the west coast?? Where his son lives?

Geoff, you seriously need to have kids soon, so that OSC well come this direction more often. [Smile] He can sign books and talk to us while he's here.

Oh -- huh. I just made a thread about his tour, too - but put it on the other side becauase that is what I thought I was supposed to do...

It is cool that he gets to see those in New Zealand. That's a country I hope to visit someday.

Drat. Although a SciFi convention in Wellington NZ just sounds like so much fun. I wish I could go!

this (^) is just my personal opinion.

I don't know how NZ got on their, though I'm sure the Cards are excited about that trip. [Smile] I don know that in the past, dates are continually added as more and more bookstores arrange with OSC and the publisher to have him come. *Crosses fingers for MidWest area signing*

I haven't noticed it being down. Do you have the address right? It should be http://kiwi.highfantastical.com/phpbb2/ .

Too bad the convention couldn't have been while I was in New Zealand.

The New Zealand event has been there for a couple months -- since before the Shadow of the Giant tour dates were listed.

I was hoping that, although the Cards did state the majority of the tour would be east coast, Los Angeles would be a big enough market to get him out here for a day or two. Alas, it is not to be, I guess.

Another midwest vote! I was really hoping he would come out this way. I know he came out at least not too long ago in the past, as I snagged a leftover signed copy of Crystal City in Louisville.

But he should come again. And preferably stay at my house. I just feel like I haven't gotten enough one on one time with him, ya know? [Wink]

Also, greenkiwi is never down, as far as I know. Some people had trouble logging in a while back, though. [Dont Know]

I wonder if the Cards could be convinced to take a slight detour to Western Australia?

It's not *that* far from NZ...

And hey, if he's flying over the Pacific ANYway, a pitstop in Hawaii would do him good...Kauai, specifically...

Man, even OSC is getting to NZ before me. Hmph.

I think we should all come to Wellington.

edit: Except I'm having flashbacks from English class that remind that the proper form of that sentence should be "I think we should all go to Wellington." since you can't come to a place. You can only go. I think. Not quite sure.

I can say you should come to Wellington, since I'm already here. You can't say it though. Take it back!

Hey, I'd be up for that!

Or you could all conglomerate in Jerusalem. Besides the three Hatrackers I know of in Israel, two of you have already come to visit this year. Keep up the good work! [Wink]

True, we don't have orcs here in Hawaii. However, we do have hippies in abundance living in the trees, and if you pretend they're really hairy elfs, it's almost as good. [Smile]

See, OSC was within 120 miles of where I live twice, and I couldn't pull it off. I guess I just have to make an effort to go to a signing far away next time he's in California. I really wish I could have made it to the San Jose Crystal City signings.... [Frown]

It's true! I have to leave the state so the real Utaqueros can have a chance to see him. I'm still upset about Boot Camp this year. [Frown]
