Another signing - Neil Gaiman

Went to a signing by Neil Gaiman today. Had to leave work early and sit in queue for two hours, but at least it wasn't raining! I was tenth in line, but the queue steadily grew overtime, til it stretched around the corner. Due to the amount of people, they limited the signing to only 3 items per person, which was a bit naff, but I only missed out on getting two other thnigs signed, but I can live with that. Interesting mix of people in the queue too, the usual goths with tattoos, students, beardies, rather overweight people, and quite a lot of women too. Looking at what people had to sign, it was the guys getting comics signed, and the girls getting his books signed.
Anyway, after two hours in the queue, you get like 30 seconds of facetime with him, and he was surprised when I gave him a copy of his first book, a biography of Duran Duran from 1984. This had been sent over from Australia by the master signer/collector himself, my father. I think he is to blame for all this. Got that signed, a copy of Eternals #1 and a Green Lantern/Superman comic he wrote too. Then had to spend 45mins on the bus going home. I seem to be spending alot of time in queues or on public transport in london...
