Because the Science Center was set up for it’s own merchandise they were cool with us bringing ours. For the first time at a signing we had our shirts, the rubber duckies, and lots of the stuff that is usually only available on-line from us. I signed more ducks at this signing than ever before, because you guys could buy them while you were in line.
The two hottest items were the Jean-Claude tub toy duckies, and the Jean-Claude comic shirt, followed by Anita comic shirts. Several people remarked that is was like being at a concert with the merch. I guess it was, but we didn’t do a tour shirt this time. We did one before and it just didn’t sell that well, so if it doesn’t sell we don’t repeat it.
We are doing a special shirt for Comic Con in San Diego this year, to commemorate our first time there. I’ve seen the graphic from Brett Booth, and it is way cool.
Thanks to the Borders store that was at the signing with books to sell on the spot.
Though the St. Louis signing was smaller than the Atlanta signing we had a lot of people who had traveled quite a ways to get there. As I said in the blog yesterday we had a lot of Canadians. Thanks for coming down. We had people from all over the country, actually. Kansas, Illinois, Texas, Oklahoma, and Tennessee. If I missed some states, my apologies, but we get a little fuzzy some time before we get through nearly three hundred people. Thanks to all of you that put in the effort to drive all that way.
Thanks also to all you guys at the Atlanta signing that traveled from out of state and farther. We had some people that came in from out of country, but Jon and I cannot remember whether you guys came to Atlanta or St. Louis. I’m sorry. We remember you, but not exactly the room you were standing in at the time.
Darla tells me that there maybe a video of the Q and A. We’ll at the very least have an audio of it so that the people that couldn’t make the St. Louis event can hear the questions and my answers complete without having to read through someone else’s posts. Keep your finger’s crossed that the video works out. Then you guys who didn’t get to see it in person, can at least see it in some form.
We’re also going to try to do an audio, and, or video of the wolf howl later this month. We’ll see how it goes. Tech is great when it works. When it doesn’t, well, you figure out what went wrong and try again.
