Dress as Dill! And carry some extra copies of your books if people ask!

Are you going to dress up?

Too late for that. I wouldn't know what to go as and I can't afford to buy a costume since I don't have a job anymore.

Received my last paycheck from the old place. Will need the W-2 in January, but...

I GOT STAR WARS TICKETS!!!

ThatNickGuy · Oct 21, 2015

Hm. What's in these boxes, Diomedes?

Nice! 50 copies of my book came in! They're Diomedes approved! Between this, the job interview, and it's Back to the Future Day? Everything's coming up Nick.

ThatNickGuy · Oct 21, 2015

And I finished off the day with some DDP Yoga (Below the Belt). Now to sit back and watch Back to the Future. Depending how awake I am, I might keep going with its sequels.

Job interview, books, yoga, Back to the Future?

I need more good days like this.

Hey Nick, just out of curiosity, what would a guy have to do if he wanted a copy of one of those books signed? Let's say, for this thought experiment, that said person doesn't live in Canada

Buy it, take out a pen and sign your name?

Ohhhh you meant the author didn't you?

I...honestly don't know. Someone overseas asked me that once and I didn't know what to tell them. Anyone have suggestions?

blotsfan · Oct 21, 2015

I mean, you could mail it yourself if some thought experiment was willing to pay the shipping couldn't you?

ThatNickGuy · Oct 21, 2015

I guess it depends if they already bought a copy. If not I suppose they could buy it directly from me. PayPal or some vis-a-vis thing like buying me Amazon or Steam credit.

If they already have a copy though? I don't know.

I don't yet have a copy. But if you'd be willing to oblige me, I'd happily paypal you payment for the book as well as whatever the shipping costs would be. In fact, if you have a copy of City of Smoke and Mirrors as well, I'll take one of those too. I own it on digital, but I don't expect you to sign my kindle.

That...is actually pretty doable. I have an extra copy of City, I just need to get it back. I lent it out to a counsellor I was seeing. I'll private message you about if.

Cajungal · Oct 21, 2015

I get to see Baron Vaughn on Saturday. That fact alone is getting me through this goddamn week.

CrimsonSoul · Oct 22, 2015

When my wife greys signed copies directly from authors she'll buy the book from the author (including shipping) and they'll send it. If she already owns the book she usually just pays shipping.

I so want to rate that "You're Doing The Thing Again". But different state, different mindset towards that evil white stuff.

Dei · Oct 23, 2015

Look, I only like it when it stays in the mountains WHERE IT BELONGS.

Su-no? What is this su-no you speak of? It was 90+ here this week.

Don't worry, you'll be underwater this weekend, if you aren't already.

Then it's gonna be pleasant and cool by Texas standards, in the high 80s all next week!

ThatNickGuy · Oct 23, 2015

I envy you guys that live in warmer climates all year long. I wouldn't have to stow my bike away for like 6 months.

Oh you'd have to put it away for 6 months here, too. But those months would be April, May, June, July, August and September.

Dei · Oct 23, 2015

Honestly, I can ride my bike most of the year if I want to, even when it actually snows at my house it doesn't stick around for that long. As long as you don't mind it being a little cold out, and even then the sunshine usually mitigates it.

jwhouk · Oct 23, 2015

See, they're a bit odd in CO.

A bit? Please.

I imagine they're worse down there, but I once worked as a bike courier all summer in downtown Toronto. Some days were pretty damn sweltering. I actually love the heat.

Dei · Oct 23, 2015

The heat is only 25% of the problem. Toronto can get humid, but not Texas humid.

I dunno, I'm sure the lake provides plenty of moisture.

Dei · Oct 23, 2015

Yes, but it really doesn't get to 100+ degrees at the same time. Maybe on a fluke it will sometimes.

ThatNickGuy · Oct 23, 2015

I thought Texas had more dry heat than anything else?

Out west in the desert, yes. But from Austin/San Antonio east, it's hot and wet. Houston is basically a swamp slowly sinking into a bayou.[DOUBLEPOST=1445642206,1445642085][/DOUBLEPOST]

Actually, redneck generally denotes someone from the ACTUAL south - IE, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, etc. It only bleeds into Texas a little (again, in the east). The "South" stops at I-45. After that, you're in the Southwest.

I dunno, it looks pretty South and centralized to me, but since I don't have to live there, call it whatever makes you happy.
