The signing photos are here and there’s a separate interview with Peter as well.
Ask Peter about that puppet on his hand, which helped him become hoarse by the end of the evening…

TV interview
The following is a link to the interview I did on the local Maine TV magazine “207”:
OUT THIS WEEK: FNSM #17, DARK TOWER #1
I’m busy serving the Tower, up in Maine for a store appearance today at Casablanca Comics from 3-6. Did an appearance yesterday on a local news magazine show called “207” and had a reasonably good time doing that. Certainly better than the last TV stint I did where the interviewers invited viewers to call in and try and stump me with “Star Trek” trivia questions.
In any event, FNSM #17 brings back the Sandman while Dark Tower is, of course, the New Big Thing. Whad’ja think?

Well, that went better than I expected
Just got back from the midnight opening at Midtown Comics for the first issue of the Dark Tower series. It was a little odd to be taking the Long Island Railroad into the city and be reading the “New York Daily News” and suddenly my name leaped out at me from the “Tuesday in New York” column. Yes, granted, I was described as being one of the artists on the book (along with Jae Lee) but, hey, at least they spelled my name right.
I got nervous as I approached the store because, looking up from street level at its second store location, I couldn’t see anyone in the windows. I thought, “Geez, nobody’s here.” But the angle was deceptive; the place was packed. At least over a hundred people there, plus an assortment of on-line video folks conducting interviews and such.
Signed a whole buncha books and everyone seemed stoked to read it. Couldn’t have been happier with the way everything went.
Before the gathering, I took in a show: “Avenue Q,” a long-time favorite of Kathleen’s. Totally demented musical. The lyrics for “The Internet is for Pørņ” are going to be in my head for awhile (“Grab your dìçk and double click, for pørņ, pørņ, pørņ”)

Just trying to deal
It’s been a craptacular few days.
First the loss of the GPS and shattered window. Then poor Caroline came down with a stomach bug and I’ve been up with her for the past couple of days. She’s been sleeping on the living room couch and I’ve been at her side with a cooking pot for her to upchuck into, so I’m fighting sleep deprivation. Now both Kathleen and Ariel have come down with the same bug, and I’m worried that it’s going to hit me during the next 48 hours…during which time I’ve got the Midnight store appearance, two bowling leagues, and a flight up to Maine for another store appearance.
Uh brother.

Superbowl Commercial review 2007
As I did last year, I intend to keep a running commentary on the only aspect of the Superbowl that I particularly care about: The commercials. Feel free to stop by.
in terms of the team, we will be pulling for the Colts for one simple reason: We allowed Caroline to decide based on the following conversation:
“Caroline: Which do you like better, teddy bears or ponies?”
“Ponies!”
So there it is.

Hey, Garmin guys…here’s how popular your product is
I had my beloved Garmin GPS system mounted in my windshield while I ran into a mall for a few minutes. And someone apparently saw it and thought it was so nifty that they just had to have one.
In fact, they liked it so much, they just had to have that particular one.
Which is why I came back to the car and found all the glass from the front passenger window inside the front seat and the GPS–Majel II, as we’d nicknamed it–gone.
Whenever I leave the car I always, ALWAYS, take the GPS down out of the windshield and put it in between the front seats, away from prying eyes…except today. Except for this one dámņëd day where I was thinking about other things and left it where it was…this one dámņëd time…
And someone smashed his way into the car and took off with it.
