I just found out that on the day of protest, I was in the same city--in the same 2 mile vicinity!!!--of Neil Gaiman signing Anansi Boys at the National Book Festival. *sigh* Oh, well. I was carrying a Free the Press poster and shouting, THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE!!!! at the top of my lungs instead.
I still don't have a copy of Anansi Boys yet *pout* and won't let myself buy one until next Thursday night (I have FOUR midterms next week, over a THREE DAY SPAN!!! AAAAAAACCCK!!) So until then, I am pathetically Gaimanless.
I just can't believe it!!! I've been trying to figure a way to bump into him at a stop on his signing tour, and I was...just...there!!!! I saw all the Nat'l Book Festival tents, and even stopped by after the whole thing was over! *torture*
