Yeah, I’m sure signing for a clamoring horde of hundreds/thousands of fans is *exactly* what Neil wants to be doing during his “spare time” while in town spending time with his future in-laws and celebrating his son’s wedding!
And although he’s probably *been* to Malaprop’s, and will go there again, given the scale of event that a Gaiman signing inevitably becomes, he’ll probably never actually have such an occasion *at* Malaprop’s … they’d book it into Thomas Wolfe, at a minimum.
Nate, it would indeed be extra hassle added to a big weekend. But since Gaiman clearly has his heart set on supporting Malaprop’s, and since he’ll be in town in October, it seems like maybe it’s actually a convenience to extend his stay in town and end it with a signing.
Much easier said than done for someone so in-demand and pre-booked, I’m sure. And he won’t even have a new book out until next fall, I think.
Maybe a bookish miracle will occur. I just though I’d put the idea out there.
Neil, in my experience the great local sushi is at Wasabi and Heiwa (downtown), though I’m also told Ichiban (not far from the Biltmore) is good.
