Another Santa Monica report

[Julie Kangas]

Here's my snippet from the Santa Monica signing...

While inching down the 405 to Santa Monica, I passed
a car with the licensce plate MRDRAGN. The driver was short
with dark hair, so I <snort>ed and thought 'Just another *false*
dragon.'

I arrived early and was number 3 in line. I spent
about an hour chatting with Robert Jordan before the signing.



Ok, ok, he was just some guy with the same name :)
I told him he should get access to this group so he could
yank everyone's chains. It was funny to watch him get a
book signed 'to Robert Jordan from Robert Jordan.'

The real Robert Jordan was late arriving (he had an
earlier signing and then an interview) and asked for a three
book limit. I had six books so got to talk to him twice.

He looked kind of tired and seemed to be in a hurry
to get to everyone. Most of my questions got a 'read and
find out.' He said he had read the 'Is Bela a Darkfriend'
thread from this group. He shook his head in a bemused
manner as he said this.

I asked him if he based any of the male characters
on himself. He answered 'Of course not. All of them are
flawed.'
